This coin is 20mm in diameter, very thin, and appears to be made of billion. It's dated 1691. Anyone have any ideas?

    I'm not sure either but Papal sounds right. Perhaps Austrian if I had to pick twice.
    The meaning of life ? I don't know but I am sure that coins have something to do with it.

    I agree, I was thinking an Italian State.

    Is that St. Wolfgang?
    Looks like him!
    I never pay too much for my tokens...but every now and then I may buy them too soon.
