Hello all!  I came across this cool coin on eBay, bid and won it for $15.  It's pretty large, about the size of the top of a soda can.  It's made of stamped metal with embossing and color enamel.  The seller also threw in a ballpoint pen with the PlayStation 20th Anniversary logo on it.

It's very cool and I'm glad to have it and all, but I don't know much about it.  Where was it released at?  Japan I would assume going by the date printed on it.  Was it a gift?  Handed out at a convention, keynote address, etc?  I've looked around a bit and can't find anything on it.  Any help would be appreciated!

Found this on Reddit. Not a whole lot of other info out there on it.

I found a different site but it only had one line of text and a pic of the coin saying that he won it. didn't say where he was, who he got it from, or what he won to get it, just that he won it.

so that with Abe's post makes it seam like it was just a promotional thing given out to winners of something.

Lol it seems like every post you make anymore has some mention of your work internet.

LOL...true.  This is when I have the most time to get online since home life is busy with kids, pets, wife, etc.  I don't know what the deal is, but the stupid cyber-security crap they run here is wonky.  Sometimes pics show up.  Sometimes they don't.  Sometimes Google works, sometimes it don't.  It all seems completely random.  Not to mention when the HTML code doesn't load right and everything is bummed-up and just crappy text on the left side of the screen.

That's a very cool item! It seems pretty underground too, I wonder if we'll find out more about it.

I'm still digging around and hope to learn a bit more about it. I saw another end for $100 on eBay so I feel pretty good about how little I paid for it.
