VASILOPITA TOKENS

Regarding our discussion of coin and medal shapes, David Powell writes:

Konstantinidis bread token OK, what shape is this? It is a Vasilopita {Basil's Bread} token, associated with Greek New Year tradition; not that all of them are this shape, this is just a modern design. I understand that each family makes a special loaf or cake for New Year, and that exactly one lucky token is baked into it for someone to find.
