[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3661911, member: 10461"]It is clearly [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_IV_of_the_United_Kingdom']William IV of England[/URL]. His queen was [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelaide_of_Saxe-Meiningen']Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen[/URL]. So it's British, and probably circa 1831, since that was their coronation date. I suspect it's a coronation medal like the one [USER=102103]@The Eidolon[/USER] linked to, but it could also perhaps be a gaming counter. I suspect coronation medal, though. Particularly since you can see the word "JUNE" on the reverse. It appears to be brass. Can't make out the reverse, but it's tantalizing, with those few ghostly details. This was probably a watch chain or jewelry piece, considering the amount of wear. I suspect the monetary value would be very modest, but I don't know, obviously. Though likely not worth much as-is, it is an interesting piece.[/QUOTE]
