    as Ricko said, welcome to the forums! I can't help you out, but I am a member of another chat forum that might be able to help. With your permission I can post pics over there. It's a pretty sweet looking coin/token though!

    That is a very cool find. These are referred to as jetons, by the way.

    But I see the Treasurenet thread already mentioned that.
