Epilepsy token

[TMosh]

Found this today in the woods near my house.
Didn't know what it was at first, but I could read just enough to look it up online.
Hope to clean it up a little more tomorrow. I gently washed it but ill try a little aluminum polish.

Sorry the pics loaded rotated to the side

If it's not holed to be worn as a medical alert medallion,, then I guess it would be considered a token.
Congrats on a cool find.

Thank you for the links. I did not see the first one, but the second one I ran across when I was looking it up.
Very interesting for sure
