    I got this token from the junk box in my buddy's coin shop a few months ago Trademark Token.jpg . I don't know what the figure represents and thought someone might be familiar with it. It's 18mm and brass with a plain edge. Thanks much.

    I was thinking it might represent a fraternal organization of some sort, but I'm only guessing. Thanks for your input vnickels.

    Errm, "Trade Mark" is English. ;) The man depicted reminds me of Giuseppe Garibaldi, by the way. Here he is on a €2 commem from San Marino:

    Many gaming counters are 18mm in diameter and made of brass. I collect them, and have hundreds, but I have not seen one like yours (and I certainly have not seen them all by any means). I don't know if that is what it is, but it is a possibility. Most of my reference books on counters are difficult to use, as most ids only have descriptions rather than accompanying pictures.

    I hadn't thought of a gaming counter cw. I have one or two, even though I don't collect them. I'll note that on the 2x2 but with a question mark. Thanks.
