Definitely a token if both sides are identical like that, but it's nothing I've sen before, and with only two characters I don't recognize, I...
Agreed. Definitely modern.
I'm wondering if wear is one of the reasons we're not seeing writing. It looks almost like I can see traces of some on the right side of the...
I believe that this is an Indian temple token of some sort. Someone with more knowledge about Indian coinage and tokens should be able to give...

I agree with Doug, and I don't think you're going to be able to get a more specific identification in this condition. The value of this coin will...
It's a coin of the emperor Maximianus struck in the summer of 307 AD in the London mint. The denomination is usually called a follis by most...
