Answer

Hello Richard,                  

Your Question was misdirected to me at USA Question board at AllExperts.com

I am not an expert on foreign coins and do not catalog much information on them.
You should include in the question what country the coin is from as well as any motto or lettering you can see.
Also what is the coin made of?

You will find it in the “Standard Catalog of World Coins” if it is a coin. These catalogs are available at your library.

I do regularly see your type of coin at shows and know most of them sell from one to five dollars. They have made so many millions of the same coin each year it keeps the price down.

Sorry I could not be more help but I know other experts at this site who may be able answer you.


Thank You and Good Luck
