[QUOTE="Collector1966, post: 1080068, member: 17919"]OK, let's walk through this Entering the Greek legends ΣΥΝΕΤΑΙΡΙΣΜΟΣ ΠΑΡΑΓΩΓΩΝ (top) and ΡΟΜΠΟΛΑΣ ΚΕΦΑΛΟΝΙΑΣ (bottom) into Google Translation gives translations of "Cooperative Producer" and "Rompolas Kefalonia" A Google search of Rompolas Kefalonia reveals that there is a wine festival called Rompolas held in Kefallonia, Greece. This would fit with the heads side of the medallion showing what appears to be a Greek farmer with a basket of grapes. The loop at the top of the medallion indicates it could be a key chain fob. However, another explanation may be that it is a medallion that is hung around the necks of bottles of wine at the festival that are produced by members of that cooperative. The numismatic value of this piece is 0. It could have some value as a medallion, but you would probably have to try to reach collectors of such materials, probably through something like a European site for medal collectors.[/QUOTE]
