[QUOTE="BRandM, post: 4094916, member: 22729"]Here's what I found out, George. I contacted two men knowledgeable in foreign tokens and they both agreed that it's a Mexican Hacienda Token. Apparently, there's a man in Colombia who has done extensive research on these pieces and has written a few booklets about them. His name is Ignacio Henau. Unfortunately, they couldn't recall the titles of them so you might want to Google the name and see what comes up. Furthermore, the man in France I spoke to said the only text he could make out was "ARGA' on the reverse. He feels the entire word is either "Nargavan" or more likely "Vargas." I assume these are names of Haciendas in Mexico.
