coin or token ? :help: I am stumped.

[dobbie]

We went to a place that holds all kinds of events from concerts in the park , to big soccer tournys, to the civil war re-enactments. My hubby got a mixed silver signal so he dug it. He pulled out 6 of these all from the same hole. There are 1-100, 2-1's, 1-10 and 2 with a design on them that has a european looking lion on the front. All the backs are the same. There are no letters except for the HH on the bottom really small like. What are they? It has me stumped. I say tokens , He says foriegn coin. Can any one help? Oh and 2 are silver colored and the rest copper colored. and there is no date on any of them. The bottom pic is what the backs look like.

They are from a Coin Operated Machine that are usually seen at Fairs, Game Rooms, or what have you. I call them Tokens since that is what they really are but some call them Coins. You would put money into a machine and in return, it would give you back some Gaming Tokens so you could play different Games in order to win Prizes. There nothing special so they have no real value unless you find someone you can sell them to. Nice Find though! Continued Success, Good Luck and HH to you.
