  Looks like a Gallery Mint item. The photo of the reverse looks like it may have been retouched (or is that part of the design at the bottom)?
  
  I have not seen anything like it.

  Edited to correct the reference of what the 1993 commem portrait was modeled after.
  
  It's a concept design that is, I believe, post-1993 in origin. The seller claims that it's based on an original design submitted for competition in 1938 by Frans Karel Hejda. They also claim that the original plaster pieces were sold by Stack's in 1994 to a European dealer that used them to make dies for a concept piece. I have my significant doubts about this, but I am not certain of the authenticity or lack thereof. The design smacks of too many elements that are similar to other post-1938 pieces, and I think it's a bit conincidental that the bust of Jefferson used is nearly identical to that of the bust on the 1993 U.S. Mint commem, which is modeled after original portrait medallion by Gilbert Stuart. I simply believe this is a modern concoction. It's also done in medallic alignment, which is typical of token numismatics.
