I've been trying to figure out for a while now, but no one seems to know... Here's the pictures. Front- Back- Thank you. <3
A privately issued commemoration of Jefferson's life, possibly part of a series similar to the Shell Oil tokens, or possibly a birth or death year anniversary piece. It doesn't show up in a Google image search for Jefferson Medals or Jefferson Tokens.
It must be part of a series. Here is the same obverse with a different reverse. The guy selling this is in Germany...wierd. Email him to see if he knows where yours is from. http://cgi.ebay.com/THOMAS-JEFFERSON-MEDAL-unc_W0QQitemZ310141047170QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4835d8d182&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50#ebayphotohosting
