Please can someone help me to identify this coin/token? It is 19 mm in diameter and about 0.8 mm thick and is made of bronze or maybe brass. I can't find it in Numista.
Thanks.

A token for passage across the old Galata Bridge in Turkey.
I remember this topic from seven years ago ...

Thank you ZacUK for the information. I had a feeling it was a token.

If you copy the link, starting with https://www.google.be/maps....... till ......d28.9720567 and you paste that in your browser, you will see the bridge.
The link on the Numista page does not work...

Thanks for pointing it out - I now changed the coding and it works again.
Someone put the link as plain lettering instead of a URL address. :)
