Question
I have had this coin for about 38 years and was wondering what it would be worth. I have never been able to find anything the same. I have attached an image of the front and back. On my kitchen scales, it says 1.5 oz.

Hi Simone, Is this a round coin or a rectangle? There were a series of coins issued to commemorate the Indian chiefs of the Venezuela area during the era of the Spanish conquistadors but they are all under an ounce in weight.
If you have pictures (not over 1 megabyte each please) of the other side you can email them to me at tbirde@psknet.com.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Unusual World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
