日本 金トークン 玩賞品 約1.4g 約90.91%

In Asia, the obverse symbol on this gold token is used for prosperity and good luck at religious temples. It can be found today on Japanese maps to indicate that a temple is on that particular spot. The reverse is "Ko" in Japanese and perhaps identified it as being from a specific old temple somewhere in Japan. It's unclear when or where this token was minted, but it was probably used in a temple's affairs. (Gold 90.91%, Silver 8.68%, Copper 0.426%) Weight 1.4g.
