[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 400543, member: 4350"]Hi, Here is what it could be.... In France, they were called jetons Britain used checkpieces German States and Germany used Spielemarkes All words for tokens made using designs of current coins but usually dateless. Using two heads is not beyond the realms of possibility. I am by no means an expert on these but it is quite possible that this is one. They were used as game pieces, or to do mathematical computations. In a sense, play money. There are many websites that explain these pieces but I can't find anything on this specific piece. Thanks, Bill[/QUOTE]
