That's a strange one Mark. It's too fancy for a token and I don't think it's a Jetton. Can't see the inscriptions too well.

How about a pocket astrological guide. Sorry can't think of the more common name off hand.

Nice one Mark.   And don't forget it's just a s interesting as the real thing. It's just as old and gives more info on the social status of an area than an original coin.

So much for my Astronomical Coin.  I did find one on Google but it was Chinese  ;D :o ::)
