I found my first of these this year too :) - although I think mine was a little later.

The family who made this basically cornered the markets for over a hundred years in accounting token making :)

I find incredible how such fragile thing holds so much history...
Thinking that was in a clod for  hundreds of years

I thought the same when I found one Andre. Also how did it stay whole, they are so thin, just like egg shells. Squeeze it too hard and it would just fall apart.
They mostly don’t have such good detail either. Nicely found and saved.
