<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2066450, member: 39&quot;]Welcome! Cannot tell where this token or medal was issued, but the one side shows the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilleion_(Corfu)" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilleion_(Corfu)" rel="nofollow">Achilleion</a>, Corfu. On the other side you see the Austrian empress Elisabeth (Sisi) who had the palace built because she liked the island so much.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the dates, 1837-1898 is when Elisabeth was born and died. And the 1962 on the other side, well, the Wikipedia article says that &quot;in 1962 the Achilleion was leased to a private company that converted the upper level to a casino and the lower grounds to a museum.&quot; Since the piece uses Latin (including the &quot;Achilleum&quot;), it may have been minted outside Greece ... or maybe a Greek manufacturer thought that Latin would be more appealing to international tourists. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
