Not sure where to put this unidentified coin / token. The owner thinks it may be Swedish but I have no idea. It's brass but don't have a size or weight. The reverse is blank.

Can someone help please?Unkniwn Swedish.jpgUnkniwn Swedish.jpg

Yes, when you see A.B. (aktiebolaget), you are likely looking at the name of a Swedish company. In this case Nässjö Bryggeri A.B., a brewery established in Nässjö. More information here. Its major brand was FAT 21 (barrel 21).

My guess would be a waiter's token for 6 öre.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Great information, Peter. Thank you.

What is the meaning of A.B. or aktienbolaget? Incorporated, Limited, etc. maybe?

Indeed. A joint stock company. Ltd, inc. etc.
