Coin or Token??

I found this coin / token in my loose discard tray, and wonder if anyone knows wghat exactly it is.
It's in medal form with no date, and I assume it's from Columbia as it says "Santa Fe De Bogota"
Does anyone know what exactly it is, and does it have any collector value?

"Casa de Moneda" means (coin) mint.

"Colleccion Banco de la Republica" means Collection, Bank of the Republic

Looks like a souvenir token of a visit to the mint museum.

 

Willie,"Casa de Moneda" actually means "House of Coins" or "House of Money".There are several mints in Latin America that has "Casa de Moneda' in their title.In Brazil,it is "Casa da Moeda",which means the same thing as "Casa de Moneda' in the Brazilian-Portuguese language.

Looks like a additional token to mint sets...

 

I appreciate the responses. I had no idea of any of this bank token stuff, but I figured it wasn't a coin due to lack of a date or country.

Thanks,
Fred
