Title: Indentification Required Please
Post by: Goldseeker on November 16, 2018, 06:37:50 PM
A lady at one of the local shops was given the following and she nor I can identify it.

Can anyone throw some light on it please:

I think it may be an old utility token rather than a coin from one of the many European countries.

Your assistance in the ID of the coin/token appreciated.

The good thing about searching online at the Numista website,
is you only have to enter a few known items, like year and denomination
and then it usually doesn't take long to find what you're looking for.
Especially so with an odd denomination like 40. :)
