<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Magnus87, post: 3561551, member: 96372&quot;]I think “gettone” is better translated as “token”.&nbsp;&nbsp; When I lived there, the price of a pay-telephone call frequently changed, so the devices only accepted a specially-made metal disc, universally called a “gettone” (pl. gettoni).&nbsp; Bilingual local folk always called them tokens to us newbies.&nbsp; And, while a “liga” is indeed an alloy, it also means “league” &amp; I think these pieces refer to a separatist political movement, the Northern League (still plenty active in Italian politics).&nbsp; You got some pretty interesting stuff there.&nbsp; (BTW,&nbsp; “medal” is “medaglia” in Italian; it sounds like “medalya”, believe it or not!).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
