Help IDing this Coin/Token?

[Mighty_Mouse]

I posted this in the Metal Detecting section and was told i might get more folk to look at it here and all so here we go Al i know on it is just waht it says... LEONARDO DA VINCI. It's a bit bigger then a quarter and a goldish/copper/bronze color. And help with more info on this would be great. thanks for looking.

I googled the VICI to see what came up. Everything that came up pointed to Da Vinci but nothing about a coin or token.

I just won the exact same coin on a coin auction site...They could not provide me with any information about this medal, coin, or token! I came here hoping to find some answers but .... Can't believe no one has any information on this coin.

Welcome to Treasure Net !!
Maybe you purchased it from the Original Poster !!
No doubt it's a token or medallion, not a coin.
Don.....

"VICI" is "I conquered" in Latin. I don't come up with a match on the Interweb.


But here's one with the same obverse.

Leonardo Da Vinci - * Tokens * – Numista



And another described as a Jeton.

But both show a different reverse.

Just tidying up some blasts from the past (including some very ancient ones), largely for the benefit of anyone searching the site for information.

These are not coins, tokens or jetons. They come with various reverse designs and were produced in modern times as souvenirs by Ente Turismo of Florence, Italy. Here’s one with the original packaging as sold by the Città di Vinci Museo Vinciano shop (at the museum in Leonardo’s home town of Vinci in Italy):
