coin or trinket?

[ericodapro]

This is way off topic but I got a small box of coins from a friend that got it from her grandfather. It has some silver world coins and a few Liberty dollars and this gold looking coin with no date and has GR64 1 14k stamped on it. Couldnt find anything when I googled it and Im thinking its just a charm or trinket coin. Anyone seen this before?

I'll second the trinket/token theory. If it has no date, I'm pretty certain it is not a coin.

Interesting though. I'd be happy to test it for gold content if you'd like. That's likely where any value would come from, if it was 14k.

See this address, there is a token with the same anverse and reverse and dated 1865 on the reverse.http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...C1&FORM=IQFRBA.

There are a lot of gold plated tokens commemorating the Emperor Maximillion. The original gold coin was dated 1865, and a lot of the gold plated copies have the date on them. This is very common in Mexico. You can see some of the similar ones here:

I have been unable to locate the one like you have Eric, but I have seen it many times before.
