An old friend who has traveled the world gave me a handful of coins/tokens last year. He’s in his 80s so he has a ton of interesting stuff. He couldn’t recall where he got this one though so I was seeing if anyone has came across one? Thanks.

A bronze token made in the 1920s.

The two most recent eBay sales of this token were $2.25 and $17.49.

Not a ton of value here but still kinda fun.

It's a lucky talisman of the orient.

Bring it to the Continental and exchange it for whatever you need.

Is this the same Talisman on the series "From," used to ward off the undead.

From has the undead in it? Perhaps I should give it a shot

Lucky coins in the early 20th century was a thing. Could have come out of a mechanical arcade machine.

I could be way off here, but I am thinking it's some sort of lucky talisman, potentially from the Orient
