This brass piece appears to be a promotional token issued by the Reader's Digest c.1980. Quite how it worked in reality I don't know. The piece measures 45x20mm. Weighs 7g. Both obverse and reverse carry the same design, that is of a crude male portrait facing half right within an oval. The legend READER's DIGEST appears in a ribbon and again below the cartouche enclosing most of the design, this time in both upper and lower case. DOLLAR TOKEN either side of bust with one roundel either side. The edges are plain, the field cross hatched.
