Sadagura 2para - 3 kopeks, struck on melted down Turkish cannons by Russian armies

Medal token from R-12 (SS-4) Soviet medium range missiles scrapped under the Soviet-American INF Treaty. Don't think I want to know the radiation levels of that!

Weren't there some Irish coins that were struck on cannon metals as well?
Thanks for reading commrnting and especially the image links,,,
