About this token:

• David writes: This is believed to be a gambling token from Mexico. The "mercury" dime head suggests it is after 1916. I have a couple that came out of a Mexican Revolutionary coin collection. Mexico didn't really calm down until the 1920s, after the Revolution. Probition in the US in 1920 really fueled the border (Mexican) saloons and gambling.
