Coin-token is 21mm dia. - Round - Zinc - Grades XF.
(Note: This token appears to have been nickel-plated. Heron has found
no information regarding possible nickel-plating at the 'mint'. However,
if it is nickel-plated it was a super good job of plating and this coin/token
really looks XF and much better than most Zinc coins. If any coin & token collectors have any info regarding this item, please advise).

** Another somewhat interesting coin/token with interesting name,
located on a river, a nice coat of arms depicted, and a War Time
issue. A good item to be Nr. 587. And the search continues. This
is a great hobby and we just never know where an interesting item
will be found. Especially during this time of plague and sheltering
at home per ORDERS of Gov Gav.**
