*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***

I was just looking cleaning my house and found a solid gold looking postage stamp that looks as if it was a medallion or something. It says Espana on the bottom, 50 cts on the top left and correos at the top right. There is a picture on it of a larger man looking like he is giving a gift to a taller gentleman. I have no idea what this piece is exactly or if there is any worth to it. Any thoughts or comments are welcome...thank you all.

Matt

It was part of a series of gold foil replicas of world stamps, including some U.S. The foil was minimal in weight, and they are regularly found in stamp accumulations of collectors who also bought Franklin mint type of coin sets. Click on the stamp forum button on the left side and they can give you help. The stamps were originally on envelopes identifying each stamp.
