What is this I found in Imperial Beach,CA.

[sunsdup]

I am uploading what I found. It was inside an encrested form of shells and debrie and it came from the ocean in Imperial
Beach. Ca. I opened the top to discover a coin/madallion with a lions face (side view) and an inscription on the bottom,
the first lettering is a V and it is hard to read the the inscription. On the back it has a number 6 in a circle at the top with
grapes and vines on each side. It was preserved very well in the shell casing it came out of. I need a archiologist/historian
I have been told. Does anyone know what it is or how old maybe? I believe it is bronze and other materials. Your help is much appreciated.. please someone respond. My pics are not the best so I appologize. Thanks Sunsdup

Appears NOT to be a coin, but rather a token.

......years ago (30 or so), I was working a project ON the dry (Imperial)beach. The area was being densified for beach development of condos or homes using gravel pilings installed with cranes plunging massive vibrators thirty five fnto the beach sand. With the poor pressure increased , huge amounts of seawater would boil to the surface bringing pre-prohibition bottles , iron shapes , coins and an ancient weapon or three ! The developer took everything I threw my body upon ! I had no camera with me and think about that site often. If I remember , the site was in view of the Border fence .
