<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longnine009, post: 4068882, member: 1886&quot;]Metropole Good for 25c, from Rico Colorado. Brass, 4.6 grams, thin planchet, 24mm, Pritchard RI181-25. Reverse has a 90 degree rotation so I can&#039;t tell what the alignment is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rico at one time was a prosperous silver mining town, complete with 14 murders. Rico in Spanish translates to rich. One of the&nbsp; meanings for Metropole is parent-state of a colony.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is another Rico&nbsp; token called Dey&#039;s Metropole. And I found an image of the two story Dey building in Rico. The caption says the top floor was used as office space and the lower floor was retail that was almost always a saloon. I believe this token was a saloon token used before or after Dey&#039;s token.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1063587[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1063588[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
