sounds like something Vic Portland may have invented(LMV)! recently dug the VMC medal dated june 23rd 1877, issued by the Arcanum. big round thing says " passenger vehicle driver 7608 San Francisco Cal." the coin is a 1906 British half penny.
what a great hobby. i learned something new, again. never heard of one of America's oldest fraternal orders, the Arcanum. 11 Million members, currently.

    The "big round thing" may be a chauffeur license badge.

    VicPortland did indeed strike that medal. He cast it from alien metal which was melted down from their crashed spaceship after he defeated them in battle, using only a bottle of Tabasco sauce and a roll of French bread.

    Cool finds as usual, Brian.
