Question
I was looking through my collection and came across this coin. At first I didn't think it was worth checking out, but did a little research and found that it might be something rare. I know that I have had it for at least 45 years. On one side it has "Historical Holyland Coin" 1 Mil, 1927 and on the other it has "Palestine" 1927. I cannot remember where I got it. Curiosity has got the best of me, and I would like to know if you could tell me anything about it and if it has any value. Thank you for any light you can shine on this matter.

Hi,
I saw this question in our "question pool", where questions that were passed up on go.
This is actually quite a rare piece.
These were originally souvenirs, but not many exist today. There are two varieties with roughly the same value. Last one I saw in the same condition as your coin was a few months ago, that coin sold upwards of $800.
Great find! =)

Expertise
My specialty is world coins from the 18th to 20th centuries, primarily non-US foreign coins and related areas such as errors and exonumia (tokens, medals, etc.). I can answer questions relating to identification, grading, selling, preservation and evaluation of such items. In addition to catalog value, I can give you the practical market value and trends for specific types of coins. I will also take questions regarding counterfeits (both modern and antique) and on how to identify them. I am NOT knowledgeable in paper money/banknotes, ancient or "shipwreck" coins. Thank you.
