I recently bought this off eBay for 5 bucks shipped and have never seen something like this before. Does anyone know how one would obtain one of these "souvenir medals" and if you know of anyone who has had it or seen it? Thanks.

I'd assume it's one of the free gifts that you receieved when renting Coliseum Videos back in the 90s. I know they'd give you book marks, POGs, door hangers, and other cheap stuff. Though I thought that promotion didn't start until late 1992.
Another thing it may be. A lot of Coliseum Videos came in oversized clamshells, with a free gift inside this oversided port inside the case. this may have been one of those free gifts. I know I got a pencil topper in one of those ports.
Regardless, it's a neat piece. I've got a lot of Coliseum Videos, and have had a lot over the years, and have never seen a piece like this. How big is it? How much does it weigh?

Compared to a DVD Case, couldn't be more than a few ounces, it's made of brass.

Never seen the medal before either. Used to buy a lot of Coliseum Videos and all I ever got were small motion cards!
Looks like a nice chunky piece to have in a vintage collections. Good pick up!
