love token maybe but what was it

[ken-tuck]

i found this a while back and always wondered if it was a coin of some kind...
it has letters L.W.B Dec 25. 91
i am sure that would be 1891....and i believe its silver about the size of a dollar.
no other dates or writing.
thanks for looking

The figure on the front appears to represent a Greek or Roman god like Zeus or Poseidon.
On the reverse at the top, it looks like a part is missing/broken off that would have allowed it to be a necklace pendant.

Hope this helps...

ok and thanks.....do you think it was some kind of coin at on time?

I agree with Scott; appears to be Poseidon, like here:

Could possibly be Hobo art (see Hobo Nickles)...
