    Hi

    Does anyone know where this coin originates from or exactly what it is? My brother gave me it but I've not managed to find any information on it 20190616_145611.jpg

    I honestly know nothing about this kind of thing, but I'd try typing the date, the lettering on the side, and possibly a description of the coin as well in a search engine. Other than that, I've got nothing.

    @Matthew Edwards, welcome to CT! :happy:

    Just have patience & give it some time - someone on CT is likely to have seen this before. :cigar:

    Can you write down all the lettering you see on the rim? I see aqva (water) and viven (life). Not 100% sure about the rest. I’m also not 100% it’s a real coin.

    I see it now, not sure how I missed it. It makes sense that it's not a coin, but a jeton. Yours seems a bit crude on the edge, but if it was just a jeton, it's possible that it's legitimate. Where'd you find it?

    I have emailed the creator of that website with pictures to find out the legitimacy of the jeton. My brother found it but I'm not sure where. He just asked me to find out about it
