I was going through some coins and was un able to identify this one. It is slightly larger than a dime.

 A token from Spain.

Thanks, I'll take your word for it. Do you know if there are any photos online?

 Quote - If economic tensions are causing the euro to falter, there is no reason to return 

to the peseta. Galicia could return to another currency, unofficial but recognized in its time 

in many businesses. This is the 'peinador', legal tender for several decades, 

between the end of the 19th century and the first third of the 20th century. 

It was used as currency in the spa and Gran Hotel of Mondariz . And it had such good 

credit that it was even accepted in businesses in Vigo, Baiona and Pontevedra, quite naturally. 

 

 Quote - The design includes a letter 'M' inscribed in a 48-ray sun. 

On the obverse, the face value of the coin appears. 

However, there are multiple varieties, in successive mintings. 

And, also, different values.
