Need to know value

Magice

I have unearthed a coin and would like to know the Value.

1848.

I have attempted to look up the value, but all that turns up are ones like this, that say Lombardy, and an m on it. This one has foreign writing on the sides.

This is an imitation piece, a souvenir or cereal box prize, that resembles an actual revolutionary Lombardy coin minted in 1848. A similar piece can be seen HERE, halfway down the page. That is all I've been able to discover about it but one or two people with questions about them seem to turn up each year that I've heard about.

Hey, Brad- I see this one on that page.

I own that very same piece, now, but don't remember getting it from you?

Did you ever ID it?

I put it on my 'Unknowns' page quite a while back hoping someone would provide information, but, alas, no luck, so far.

How the heck did I end up with it? I don't remember!
