I don't know for sure, but it's a really busy design. It certainly wouldn't have fit with the size of letters they used.
I imagine it was like all our coins . The bust half which was the work horse of our money system had no denonimation on the reverse from 1794 till1807 , then in 1807s Bust half went to 50 C. Till the reeded edge in 1836 said 50 Cents . From 1838 to 1891 it said Half Dol. until it finally spelled it out to Half Dollar .
I don't know what it is.It's not even a fake,because a 1910 dolar piece isn't exist.It's just a fantasy piece. A mark "I" below is "an Imitation" probably,but who knows!? I've got it in Germany.It's about 1.1 gr 22 karats gold.
Looks like it was struck with a die too. Those die cracks through the stars are pretty cool. Neat piece!
Yes,it was struck .I don't know what it is,but when a seller said,that wants a spot price for that,I was happy to buy this cool "token" I have asked about this thing at another forum and there was a guy,who has a token like this(with the same obverse),but not in gold. His post and the pic. from there: "Hello american fellows, I'm from Portugal but I collect coins from all over the world. Recently I found this "coin", among many others, in my passed away grandpa collection. I found a so small coin (13,6 mm diameter) very curious, but I didn't found any information about it anywhere until I find this forum. So, this "coin" can be considered a "token" from the beginning of the 20th century? And why my "coin" don't have a single atom of gold? I think it is all in copper and have a remnant of silver welding near to the "ES" of "STATES", who makes me believe this is, in fact, for jewelry purposes. Thank you for your opinions and forgive me my poor english."
