All the ones old enough to remember the name of that guy are dead except me and a few others! I don't recognize him though! ;D Monty

What is the metal? It reminds me less of a coin and more of bullion that was struck to show origin. Many older gold and silver bars were round or sometimes even pancake-like. It made trimming them to weight much easier.
