Dears,

I found this token in alluminium 

0.84 g

Around 19-20 mm

Catania is a city in Sicily island 

But the shield is without the elephant, the symbol of the city

Any ideas?

Thank for your time

Maybe related to Catania Football Club?

You're right about football because I found other token in ebay:

So if about Catania and Brescia the nane of the city and the name of the football team are the same, about Fiorentina token we are telling about the football team of Firenze (Florence)

In 1965/66 these three football team played in Serie A together. So may be these token are gift if that period

Sounds logical to me.

In Italy, at least until the 1980s, it was normal to have gifts such as cheese or snacks containing coins or medals.
