I was going through all my tokens and I came across this one that I bought years ago and I had always wondered about this one because in hand it looks like gold. It looks like a copy of an old gold coin so yesterday I took it to my local coin guy and I had him scan it with his XRF scanner and it tested positive for 17k gold. Does anyone know anything about these gold coins? I found a little bit of information but not much. Here's a couple of pics of the coin, any idea of the value or where exactly it came from? 18.6mm 3.1 grams https://www.coinarchives.com/w/results.php?search=gaston

Unfortunately does not look like an original, but nice that it's at least gold and silver, not bad for a replica Link to original, no photo, but you can google it. https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide...florino-fr-329-1726-cuid-1148617-duid-1487072
Hi Frank, I hope you're doing well! Yes, great information! I bought this off the bay around 10 years ago, in fact I was just gonna tell you the price but I remembered I may want to sell it after the novelty wears off and I wouldn't want a prospective buyer to see this with the price I paid. Wow, I just looked at your top link, you nailed it! I got a really sweet deal! ~Cheers!
