Went back to the permission where I found the tax tokens and Wheaties today. My buddy found and 1895 Indian and I found this old medal Its folded as you can see but the writing is legible. It says The great state of Delaware and has two dates on it 1793 I believe and 1847. It has a small loop at the top like it hung from something else. Its a little bigger than a quarter I would say if it was flat. The good Lord only knows how it traveled to south Mississippi. Any help with ID would be appreciated

Looks like this example that Deftone identified, except yours is in brass and this one is in silver. :thumbsup:
