    That might be a religious token of some sort related to the Rosary.

    I'm not sure, but the design reminds me of a Rosary Ring.

    I wonder if the World Coin forum might be of better assistance.

    Two-headed cent?

    The cent is there for a size reference.
    It might be play money or a game marker.

    It’s a Franklin Mint pattern. ;)

  • okiegirlokiegirl Posts: 51 ✭✭✭

    It's just dots in the middle. It's definitely made of metal but a magnet won't stick to it.

    I also am thinking play money or a game marker.

    If it is very light I'd guess aluminum. Otherwise, zinc or lead.

    Counting money child's game were very popular in Europe, hence lots of spiel mark tokens. UK also, U.S. not as much. IMO. Peace Roy

    Could the "F + M" be referring to the Free Masons? :*

    Y'all are some serious coin collecters. I might be in the wrong place. Although I'm learning a lot.
