Bi-Metallic medallions were probably given out as a new years eve gifts and they go back to the 1st century. I know one of Nero

Great OP coin, must be worth a pretty penny.

 

Yeah, medallions usually start at Porsche 911 turbo money, and peak at penthouses in Miami Beach type of money, depending on the rarity.

If I had that kind of money I definitely know what I'd buy....the penthouse. I can always admire the coin from my computer at the penthouse before going for a dip at the beach. A man can always dream, can't he?

 

People who buys things like that usually has 911s and penthouses already
