It's 20 Livres from British occupation of Guadeloupe (1810-1816) - center plug punched out of a Spanish Colonial 8 Reales. You can still see one of the castles bleeding through the design (a part of the Spanish coat of arms).
Here's what the other part looks like:

Go to Early United States Coins - to order the New "Early United States Half Dollar Vol. 1 / 1794-1807" book or the 1st new Bust Quarter book!
Here is about 4 grams worth of gold nuggets found by me in a creek in west central Indiana with a gold dredge.

<< <i>Steph, I dont think that statue is fire opal. Fire opal is almost always either red, orange, or yellow in color and very transparent. >>
The 2 gemologists that I brought it to said that it is. I am getting an appraisal prepared for me, it should be ready next week.
It may not look as translucent because it is over 1 1/2" think by 2 3/4" tall.
It weighs in at a hefty 47 cts.
So maybe being that dense it is not as translucent looking
But, that's just my guess
I took an image of my pedant for comparison but it is a cabochon.

You need to find a new gemologist Steph.
"Fire opal – Fire opals are transparent to translucent opals with warm body colors yellow, orange, orange-yellow or red and they do not show any play-of-color. The most famous source of fire opals is the state of Queretaro in Mexico and these opals are commonly called Mexican fire opals."
Notice your displays the "play of color"? A fire opal does not.

Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
I use it everyday!
