It is a nice looking fantasy coin.

 

by fantasy you mean fake?

 

yep not worth morethan 5 or 10 bucks i think

 

Totally cool, only one I have seen, is it possibly a silver round? Hard to tell by color of pics, AND the indian princess is a prince !!! I'd for sure keep it just as a neat coin !!

 

Definetly not junk, I think it's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. :kewl:

its a neat find

 

Vote #3 = not junk, certainly a keeper very nice coin ... opps, not coin... Very nice medal/token/fantasy "something"

 

It's a replica, the type of which I have seen multiple examples of, and is worth less than $5 - sorry.

 

Of what?

 

A fantasy piece, then, if you prefer.

 

Mark, you seem like the person to ask about this, do you know what it's composition is? I'm guessing nickel of some sort? Just curious.

Nice coaster.
Good for keeping stains off the table.

 

one word two syllable's.

BLOWTORCH.. lol Just kidding. Nice to have i guess.

 

Sorry, I do not know.

 

I've seen several of these, the composition varies. I've seen pot metal, I've seen a steel alloy, I've seen a nickel alloy, and the very first ones from over 20 years ago, were actually silver rounds. This is NOT a silver one.
