    Hi guys!

    I inherited a few coins from my grandad some time ago, and came across the above! Is it really a coin?! And does it have any value??

    Thanks in anticipation!

    It's a souvenir token not a real coin. They are fairly modern, were produced in many different designs and usually sold as part of a set in cardboard holder. You can find out about them here - http://users.scronline.com/lockem/ - click on the California Token Guide link on the left.

    Sorry, they have no real value to speak of.
