In Unitate Fortitudo US TOKEN?

7 berichten
Hello everyone!

I'd like some help with this token that I came across. It measures 34 mm and weights 15.7g. Any help is welcome!
Regards,
Thomas

I think this is play money made by German-Americans.
Thanks for the help!
What I can't figure out is if this is a toy coin, for children, or if it was used as a token in the late 1800's in stores. The info I was able to find:
this says it was just toy coins

Anyone else has more info?
In German, spiel market means "play money" or "game money". This could indicate use by a casino or in a child's toybox.
Counter token, perhaps? The token looks small, and German "spielmunze" was common in the late 1800s, although I've never seen a reeded one

That's the deal! It's so well made... It's not small, measures 34 mm. If means play money in german, ends some doubts about the use of it by the time. The reeded edge intrigates me too
play money, comparable with Monopoly money
(not scarce...)
