Can anyone tell me what this piece is exactly? It was in a bunch of coins & tokens I bought recently. At first I assumed it was a fake one ounce silver round, but I don't know now! It is 40 millimeters in diameter ~ weighs 24.3 grams ~ reads OLYMPIAPARK MUNCHEN // MUNCHEN / 1000
The "1000" is very small print.
What do you think this is?

and we didn't find anything on it. We are thinking that it could be a current 1oz silver commemorative token possibly made by the park or city and probably still sold at souvenir shops there being that there is nothing official on it to make it a 10dm or into any official token or currency. No writing on the edge correct? 72, what a year, lots of history at those Olympics. Germany sure made the news when the Israelis were taken. It was a sad year for the Olympics with the murders but a great year for Mark Spitz and his 7 gold medals for the USA. I remember it all to well as 1972 was the year my dad bought us our first color tv
and seeing the Olympics in color was totally unforgettable for me even today.
