This is a Rudolph Valentino promotional token that was most likely given out at a re-release of The Sheik. The front depicts Valentino along with his name and the years of his birth and death, 1895, 1926. The back reads, "Hollywood's top silent star of all time, Idol of millions as "The Sheik." I have not come across many of these tokens, I believe they are difficult to find and very sought after by collectors. I am looking for one of these myself.
