    I don't know exactly what it is, but i know it is a token. That's pretty cool!

    thank you very much I was just curious about it. A friend gave this to me a few years back and I was just wondering if it has any form of value.

    definitely not a coin
    a token for me as well which has been engraved as a love token before someone took a ship

    To me it looks like a modern reproduction. The copyright symbol is what makes me question it as does the typeface. Does anyone know when they first started using the copyright symbol? I can't locate a history of it.
