"Standing Libertad" type coin

Bell-Two

Active member
Found in a farm field says Libertad which is Spanish for Liberty has an uncanny resemblance to a SLQ can't seem to find out where it is from. It is copper and 28mm in size. Other side is virtually slick.
 
Only thing I can find...
"Play Money:
Caricatures of US Quarters, ca. 1920.
quarter size
Caricature of 1916 standing liberty quarter with "Libertad" and blank reverse, silvered brass, reeded rim."


It is a reverse of the original standing liberty design, probably an attempt to avoid the appearance of counterfeiting.
