1887 Mexican Half Dollar found in Cincinnati/Police Button

[lostlake88]

I found what appears to be a half dollar that has been transformed into a medallion. I found the Cincinnati Police button lterally sitting on top of the coin. The police button is probably the same age as the coin which makes it interesting. I can't believe the handy work of the skillfull artisan who made it.

Right; the 1887 50 centavos coin is .9027 fine silver.
