Another oddball - maybe a token?

This one is different. It's about 18mm and is made of copper or bronze. The reverse really has no detail, but you can see where some of the obverse design is. The center of the reverse has what looks like a spot of solder or maybe some kind of contaminent that has flowed into the area under the crown in the middle. It;s thinner than a US small cent.

    Freemason? Fraternal? I dunno.

    That cross/heart symbol is used on some Catholic medallions, if I recall correctly.

    That could just be a crown. I believe the heart & cross is from Irish Claddaugh (sp?) rings, I bought such a ring for my pretty little wifey some years ago.
