Hi, so I was at a toy convention in Cincinnati a few weeks ago (10/11/2020) and came across something I’ve never seen before. An older man said he use to work for “The Mint” and had a connection with Hasbro when Pokemon came out in N.A. in 1999. He claims that this coin was a prototype for Pokemon Pogs release that was never produced other than the prototype. Above are pictures of the coin, one side of which is Pikachu and the other Venusaur. Anyone know if this is a real thing? There is no trademark on the coin/pog/slammer and I can’t find anything online about it? Please let me know if you find out anything, thanks in advance!

That looks very cool!
Nice find.
I’m sure the Pokemon coin collectors on here will be happy to help you!
