Hey all, got out a bit today in the rain! Wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Got one take home target.
This copper coin/token that rang up 59-60.
No idea what it'd be. Any guesses?
It has a silverish color on it as well on one side...
Might give it a peroxide bath and see if I can see anything else. There is writing towards the middle of the coin. Can't make out much.

Thanks in advance and gl and hh all!Yes
