Can anyone help me with this token? It is very light and appears to be made from aluminium.

I can't add much. It appears to be a generic token produced for the bicentennial (okay, that part is obvious doh.gif ). I've seen a few of these on ebay for a dollar or two. They rarely garner much bidding interest although the liberty bell appears to be well sculpted). I'll check a few references tonight, but I doubt I can come up with a manufacturer unless someone recognizes it and happens to know the private mint.

Thanks Bill below the Liberty bell it has FLB faintly stamped if that means anything.

I have no information to add but I do like that eagle.

No luck getting closer to your medal. Check out patrickmint.com. They used the eagle on the shield for their bicenntenial tokens, but I do not know if they struck larger pieces. I'm assuming FLB designed at least the liberty bell side of the token, but I haven't pinned down FLB. Patrick Mint is as close as I can get right now, but I'm guessing that more than one mint may have used the eagle and shield design.
