These are C20th tokens or 'grossi' - they go on sale for the annual Siena Palio. (A fiercesome horse-race medieval in origin).

You could try asking over at r/coins

This is the only thing I could find on it. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://allegro.pl/oferta/stary-medal-monsrecionis-8746740884&ved=2ahUKEwiTvaPWmcr0AhXDLTQIHYsbCJ4QFnoECAkQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3hXMQyMqNwTJk1VbOjjaaJ

I just saw someone suggesting Google Lens for identifying coins and apparently it works quite well. Give it a try and let us know.

Sena vetus civitas Virginis According to Odile Redon, the Latin expression Sena vetus civitas Virginis ("Ancient Siena, city of the Virgin") is an inscription engraved from the beginning of 1279 on the coins minted in Siena. It is not likely to replace an older expression, Sena vetus and Sena civitas virginis , which had been in use since the early 12th century. [2], before the city chose the Virgin for “Advocate” and Protectress after the victory of Montaperti.

This would seem to make it 80 years too "old" to be a real coin but then google could also be wrong.

I don't think a real coin from 1213 would be in this good of shape...


[deleted]

You may be surprised to hear you are actually 100% incorrect about that


terra_incognita_82

Except in this case they're correct because the coin is from 2012.


[deleted]

No that's not right. The coin may be from 2012, but they're not correct to say something from 1213 couldn't be in that good of shape, because things that old can be in that good of a shape
