<p>[QUOTE=&quot;drathbun, post: 1610752, member: 42789&quot;]I was recently given a batch of coins from an estate, and one of the items contained with all of the coins was what appears to be a token from a Louisiana election. Of course in Louisiana we don&#039;t call them tokens, we call them doubloons. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> On one side it says &quot;Vote no and keep your dough&quot; and on the other side it says &quot;Other needs are greater.&quot; Searching for either sentence on the web returns very few hits (2 on google, zero on bing) and none of them have anything to do with the token.</p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;vote no&quot; side has a picture of a document with $7.00 written on it. The document has wings and it appears that it&#039;s flying up. The &quot;other needs&quot; side has a mother pelican feeding some babies in a nest. I&#039;ll post pictures if it helps.</p><p><br /></p><p>The token feels like it is made of aluminum and has a reeded edge. There are no other words on the token other than what I wrote above. It&#039;s approximately 4cm across and 4mm thick.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I am wondering if any of you folks can help me identify the item, or suggest some other resources that I might use to try to research anything like age or what election it was related to. Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
