[QUOTE="lazyeight, post: 853590, member: 24548"]I found this the other day and cannot find it online anywhere. I absolutely hate it when people ask, "What is this" then proceed to give inadequate descriptions and no photo. I will try to give as much information as I can in the hopes that someone may be able to share their knowledge. It make me think "souvenir" but I am darned if I can find souvenir from what! It measures 36mm across and is decorated with the state military seal of Pennsylvania (horses rampant instead of the Indian corn and the olive branch) It also bear the state motto "Virtue Independence Liberty". Around the edge is written "POPULATION 2,300,300.PENN." and "46,000 SQUARE MILES" AND "*1855*". The reverse is where it get interesting in that it has the days of the week on the outer edge and a rotating disk in the centre that aligns to give you a handy day/date counter. The edge is millgrained as is the inner edge of the edge, if you follow my meaning.[/QUOTE]
