<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Circus, post: 2958737, member: 51195&quot;]One of the many Mardi Gras throws, doubloons are large coins, either plastic or metal, that are usually in the Mardi Gras colors. These coins portray the mystic society&#039;s emblem, name, and founding date on one side, and the theme and year of the parade and ball on the other side. The Infant Mystics were the first Mobile mystic to toss doubloons in the mid-1960s.</p><p><br /></p><p>What ever group that it was for might have been founded in 1907 It looks like two items held together by a bezel ring like used to make necklaces. Since somebody went to a lot of trouble to drill hole in a pattern. I can&#039;t make out the letters on the reverse. The crown and wreath are stock designs used when they don&#039;t want a custom die made. From the inside of the hole it looks to be ye;;ow/go;d anodized aluminum. Could have been a crude attempt at a love token. The meaning which will probably be only known to the one that did it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
