    Not sure if this is a medal or coin , or its origin .
    Rotates like an American coin.
    Slightly larger than a silver dollar 43mm diameter.

      Looks like a faternal organization medallion meant to be engraved by all the open space.

      Maybe Soviet ?

      It's odd, so beat up, but no ware. The design is sharp, and so is the edge, and it looks like someone started to drill a hole at the top of the laurel side. Maybe a harvest festival medal, that was never used. Where did you find it northstar? :^)

      Here's something similar on a google image search:

      The person that has the page that this coin is on, may also be able to help you northstar!
      It may also be a "good luck and harvest" coin from England! :^D
      I hope this helps! :^)

      Thanks everyone for your input,will follow up on provided links. Addressing billretirecoll 's question , it belonged to my late father in law.

      Thanks northstar, the clues may be in what he did, and where he lived. It may have been past down, because it looks to be from the 1800's! :^)
