<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 721845, member: 4703&quot;]The full date on the reverse is November 22, 1975.&nbsp; From the appearance in your picture, I would guess that it&#039;s copper-nickel, the same material as U.S. nickels and the outer layers of dimes, quarters and half-dollars.&nbsp; <i>Usually</i>, but by no means always, precious metal tokens and medals have their metallic content, degree of purity, and sometimes weight, included in the design.&nbsp; Check the edges to see if there is any inscription there, as often private mints put their IDs in that location.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have a friendly neighborhood jeweler, you might be able to get an educated guess opinion on content there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, from the standpoint of obtaining information, unless a medal is by a well-known designer, or from an identified private mint, it is almost impossible to track down specific information on its composition.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a last resort, you might try going to Google, and search for images of Juan Carlos I, hoping to spot a picture that matches your medal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
