Question

token side 2
This looks like a token but maybe its a coin. About the size of a us nickel with a hole in center. Silver color.

Answer
Hi Fred, this is a copper-nickel Thailand 10 satang dated 2464 in the Buddhist era (1921 AD). Collector value may be worth about $1 with moderate wear to maybe $1.50 with light wear to perhaps $3 if uncirculated (no wear). There were 21.7 million minted that year.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
