Help! What Is This Thing? 0

[writer1102]

Hey, guys - I need your help. My 8-year-old grandson found this somewhere, and asked me what it was.

I'm stumped.

I know it's a token, but I can't find it on Numista. There's no writing of any kind on it, so I have nothing to even remotely look for.

I thought maybe one of you had seen it before, and can give me a clue. Pictures are front and back, and, yes, the same picture, only reversed, is on each side.

Thanks!

Looks like a token from South America/South American likeness portrayed on it. Without any writing I'd say it's near impossible to find exactly what this thing is.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. Oh, well - I'll have to tell him that he's stumped the experts! LOL

It could be a telephone token. These were widely used in other countries, though it never caught on here.
