Comment
This is a special New year token. It is used in tradition to bake a coin in a cake during New year holidays. It has gold color and images similar to a gold sovereign - the common gold coin in Cyprus.The tokens differ in style: there are of different level of rude work, such as with different shapes of letters in legend. The differences from the sovereign are made on purpose, to help people distinguish the token from a coin easy.
The link is to the token in yellow metal.
