Default Deep, tiny, thin token @ 1820 church
I think it's a communion token, but usually they have a date and church name or biblical reference. I think it's aluminum. Dime for size reference.



I also found another the same size but it's to ratty to post.

Looks like some play money I have found. I got a fair collection of play money now.

I agree. I've been a Catholic for 48 years and I've never been given a token

Maybe I don't go to the right church...hmmmmm...

Thanks!

Does anyone have any clue of age? It was in a very old place and pretty deep.

When did we first come up with aluminum? There may be a clue there.

Watch in HD to see my display and such.
