    I saw a few more of these last Sunday at a show , 1 had the rev of a $20 double eagle and the obv. of an large cent. Early Board games game tokens. Most all have an eagle, most look like or copy us coins, or presidents ie George Washington.

    I had a small brass 1 Washington obv. eagle rev and two German words I cant for the life of me find it.

    Yup. Comparing with a nickel, which is roughly the same diameter, 1 mm thinner, and 1.1 g heavier, you have an alloy about half as dense, so perhaps some sort of aluminum alloy.

    The Nizari Ismaili state, also called the Alamut State, was a Shia Nizari Ismaili state founded by ... periods of internal turmoil allowed the Ismaili state respite from attack, and even to have such sovereignty as to have minted their own coinage.

    All that is true, but this is not one of their coins. Note, no date, no script of any kind, only a number. Game token
