[A2coins]

Went out for a few hours today I found two pennies and this coin I looked on Ebay no luck and google there isn't a date that I can see anyone recognize it Thanks Tommy You can lie and tell me its something very valuable. There is no writing on one side there is small writing on the front that the pic might not show that says Direccion Gral Detoroy Gimnasia and in another spot very small says Bellagamba Yrossi

Hard to tell what that is , "Argentina" ........I , you, most can read.

Maybe a Religious token but doubt it.

Patriotic Maybe?

Is it Silver ? looks like it.

A cool find & 2 cent is 2 cent.
GL with an ID.

It's not a coin. It's a medal/token issued by the war department of Argentina, according to the writing on the medal. Some one more knowledgeable than I will have to give more info on its purpose or when it was made

- C.and AF.ROSSI -(1908 - 1914)

The dual showing of Belleagamba Y (and) Rossi indicates a minting date of your piece between 1899 and 1908.

I bet that one got your heart rate up as you started wiping the dirt from it.

 

[Mackaydon]

I stay open to the idea the design of the medal could have occured during the years I indicated above, but the actual presentation of the medal could have been awarded years later.

I love a find that begs questions.....Interesting find!

It's not worth much, intrinsically. But, it was the *only* one made for George Washington! Used as a ball marker in golf.

A2coins,
Thanks for the kind words-- and encouragement to keep doing whatever I am doing-- seems to be working.

BTW, the words on one side: (what appear to be 'direccion 6 RAL detiroy gimnasia") are actually, in part, 'direccion de tiro y gimnasia'; meaning Shooting and Gymnastics.
So this is reward medal for that event.

What ever it is, it is unique/odd. Very cool!

Congratulations! Great find. Now that you know what it is the next question is how did it get here? From the university, the VA or perhaps a spy?
