<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 2549845, member: 81887&quot;]The design is based on US gold $2.50 or $5 coins issued from 1908-1929 (the coins had the same design except for size and the denomination on reverse).&nbsp; But what you have is clearly not an official coin- note the very crude casting (originals were not cast), absence of a date (should be on obverse under the Indian&#039;s head) or a denomination (on reverse, it just says &quot;dollars&quot; rather than &quot;2 1/2 dollars&quot; or &quot;5 dollars&quot;), not to mention that these are pretty clearly not made of gold.&nbsp; I think paddyman98&#039;s suggestion of jewelry pieces makes most sense- that would explain the holes- though we can&#039;t rule out that these were originally toy money or game tokens that were later pierced for some reason.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
