I have had this Masonic Penny since the 1960's.
It must have been used quite a lot at one time as it is well-worn.
Details:
Modern Masonic "Penny" token based on a Roman coin
Issued by the Royal Arch Masons, St. Louis, Missouri
Obverse: MISSOURI (dot) CHAPTER No 1. R.A.M. (dot) ST.LOUIS / CAESAR AVGVSTVS
Reverse: Eight spokes, DIVVS IVLIV
Size: 32mm
Catalog: Design based on Augustus RIC 37b commemorating Julius Caesar -
Some of these US-made coins must have either circulated in China or were used by Chinese merchants.
This one has Chinese "chop" marks and I have seen others with similar marks.
Oddly enough, the 1903-06 peso coins have the same amount of silver as a US silver dollar (0.78 troy oz).

I received this Mexico 1898 Peso on December 22.
It took 10 days to get from New Mexico to California.
I bought it as part of my research into the 1949 San Francisco restrike of the 1898 Peso.
This one is an original strike.
It has a die crack on the reverse (the cap and rays side).
