I believe it is carved from stone but not 100% sure.
Interested in find out more information about this piece, if you could help or if you know someone that could.

What is the size of this item?

The back looks like a representation of an Aztec calendar. I'm not an expert by any stretch, that's just my first impression.

 

[davidpel]

It is about the size of a half dollar.
yes, that is the Aztec calender on the back

That is a definate depiction of the Aztec calender. The face on the the other side depicts Quetzalcoatl. There was a deity by this name in Aztec legend, and there was also a man by this name. Here is a link to get some background info on the legend and the man...........http://weber.ucsd.edu/~anthclub/quetzalcoatl/quetzal.htm

I have not found exactly what it is, but it appears to be a Mexican coin from the 20th century or possibly a token. Still looking if I find a match I will post.... Numerous coins and some medals were used by Mexico, they had the Aztec Calendar on the Reverse and a Aztec Chief or King on the Obverse......

Hope this helps.

It appears to have had a loop at the top for attachment,maybe it is some type of presentation medal.Check it with a magnet or medal detector for composition.If it made of stone as a carving then thats another story altogether!
