silver-plated coaster from Reader's Digest, made in Italy around 1988.

For many years, Reader's Digest was the best-selling consumer magazine in the United States.

In the late 1980s, Reader's Digest offered these silver-plated coasters as a promotional item to its readers. These coasters were made in Italy and feature a simple design. They were intended as a small token of appreciation for their readership. The coasters are not made of solid silver, but rather silver-plated base metal.
