PBK or Who knows....and another

[Michelle]

Any history you know of about this... We were going through our old coins and came across it ...we dug her up awhile back....was it part of a decoration type medal that attached to a ribbon? Back has nothing at all on it! Thanks for any help and info!

1862 Feb 22, Jefferson Davis was inaugurated president of the Confederacy in Richmond, Va. for the second time.

It may be to Celebrate this.

Well, I'm here now, but obviously there's nothing left to do except offer congratulations all around, and ask if there's any dessert left.

Well, let's assume it's one of those "Confederate Seal" keychain fobs. Brand new? $3-5. Here's one with a fancy border, but otherwise the same.

Um... so I've been wondering, although we know that it's the confederate seal, why the differences in appearence?

Michelle's has the date on the bottom, but every other example I see has the words "deo vindice" on the bottom with the date on the right side.

Probably just an indifferent engraver/manufacturer.
