Hello friends,

Thanks in advance ,

I really have no idea. I found it on the street about 40 years ago. It has no face value, so probably isn't a real coin, but I would like to know more about it.
Thanks,
Pedro

Googling I have found that this is a token that was given with industrial bakery products in the 70s here in Spain. It was a series of 8 tokens showing Spanish conquerors of America. It was meant to encourage children to enter in the world of Numismatics or coin collecting. It has some sentimental value for some people. I'm trying to discover the brand of cakes that had the idea.
Thanks all,
Pedro
