We are cleaning out my wife’s grandmother’s house and found this. A google search didn’t find any info. Is this anything known, or just a random local’s name/initials?

I vote random.
I suspect it is Frank's pocket piece.
I like it - super cool! Worth its weight in silver too!
Someone with a letter punch set was showing off his skills. Unless your grandmother knew someone named Franklin P. Parks, it's probably a coin she found in circulation and just put away.

Thanks for the info. I thought it was just a random stamp too. Still a fun find.

Mr. Parks personal pocket piece (see what I did there? Four P's).
