Anyone know of examples of coins that seem to show anachronistic inconsistancies?

Yes, but the token is really beat up. After taking photos, I noticed that it had some graffiti on the obverse. Go figure! Anyhow, here is a picture of it.

I like the bottom one! What is the deal with that one?!!! It is amazing that it looks like a modern rocket! Wow! -Dan

If I remember correctly it was described as the alignment of three planets (or heavenly bodies) along with probably the moon or sun at the horizon.

But what about the rocket shape and the smoky exhaust? Your guess is as good as mine as to what was the thought behind this.
