I have this small coin (about 4 grams / .15oz , 1 inch diameter)

It reads on one side:

Taken on board space flight mission STS-48
Shuttle orbiter "Discovery"
12. September 1991
Also "Selangor Pewter" and the names of the five astronauts.

Has anyone ever seen that coin? Was it indeed flown on STS-48?
