Found this in a overgrown farm field a few weeks ago. Wasn't very deep. Not sure how old. Anyone seen this or know who is pictured on it? I'm all ears. Thanks everyone.

When I first saw this I thought maybe Joan of Arc?

No idea on the Queen but I’ve seen that cannon or very similar on other tokens.

Not sure if that is a queen or The Lady of Hal.

I’ve not seen this one before. Symbolically the wheat usually denotes “plenty” or possibly “charity”.
I’m guessing it is held by a historical figure, since it appears to be a medieval setting, which is more specific than general. The cannon can denote, defense, protection or even peace. The two sides would then denote Peace & Prosperity. Was this found in Wisconsin? It may be from a group such as Modern Woodmen, although they loved to show their name on everything.
Thanks for sharing. Good puzzler.

Thanks for the response Blackfoot. I like the way you broke down the symbolism. Well done. Yes found in SE Wisconsin very close to Lake Michigan.
