This referenced token appears to be similar to yours.
Unfortunately, one has to register to find out what it sold for a few years ago. Nor does it state (in the information provided) when the token was made.

The most recent edition (2004) of Hake's price guide lists this Clay medalet at $45. That was an increase of over 11.5% from the previous edition (1998). So, it is probably now worth at least $50. The hole is as made/issued and does not affect the value.

Nova, that's a nice token. Did you find it at an old home site?

Hey Sounds Great PBK, Thanks for the Great info.
I will never Sell them, but it is nice to see the value for Insurance purposes.
Thanks Again, Bill

Thanks KK, Yes, I actually found it about 10 steps from my front door at my 170 yr old Home.

Thanks again, Bill
