Beleive this is gold. Single Head on Obverse / Challis Centered on the Reverse - Looks Similar to
those used in a Church. Not sure if anyone can make out the Reverse, you can clearly see the single
Challis on the Reverse with a Magnifier.

Well I don't think you have gold because of the corrosion and the green patina . But it looks like it might have been gold plated . By the way I use a XTerra 30 as well ... it's a nice machine and I'm keepin' it ... But your coin is plated , sorry to say . IMHO , Woodstock

I agree it's not gold, gold will not turn green like that coin.

ronbo...I recomend you focus your research on papal token/coins.I think you may find your answer there.
Obviously plated,but many of them were.
