    Numismania You hockey puck!!

    Judging by the 'cathedral' style reverse, it looks like a Weiner medal, but I've only seen them in copper, and this one seems to be silver or white metal. These are not my area of expertise (know next to nothing about them) , so I don't know if there ARE any that were struck in the 'off metals'. Though, the rims look a bit dinged up, and it has had a possible/probable cleaning.

    Perhaps someone who knows more about Weiner medals could correct me.
