Hidalgo, 2 1/2 Pesos, 1921 (16 mm, brass, same image on both sides)
[This is the same design as the Mexican 2 1/2 Peso gold coin of 1918-1948, but no gold coins were made dated 1921]
"False Coins" of Mexico
Although these may have been used as Arras, there are no design elements that specifically relate to marriage. These may be generic "stand ins" for coins that could be used in many circumstances, including but not limited to weddings. Some of them may also be parts of pins or buttons, and not actually "tokens." I know pretty much nothing about these, if anyone knows anything, please let me know!
