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.

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

It's not worth much, intrinsically. But, it was the *only* one made for George Washington! Used as a ball marker in golf. :tongue3:

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.

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?
