Here's an interesting coin. I won it in a contest..like this one, lol.
It's silver, and they look like it was hammered. This is because it was actually struck with dies, but they used the dies until they literally fell apart! Interesting coin
The Batzen was a coin minted in Bern Switzerland from the 15th century up to the mid 19th century. The Batzen is named for the bear (Batz, meaning bear) depicted on the obverse of the coin. The Batzen was originally minted in silver, but by the mid-1800’s it was struck in billon. The 2½ Batzen and the 5 Batzen was always minted in silver. Bern’s monetary system, called the Batzen, was worth 4 Kreuzers    | |

One of the best-looking coins I have ever seen: 
German 3 mark, 1913, Defeat of Napoleon commemorative. Awesome coin!
Edited: NOT eligible for the contest as it is NOT the example from my collection, still learning how to take a half-way decent picture of a coin!

1891 Spanish Peseta purchased from a local auction. I picked it up because I thought it had some nice toning, but I am still working on my photography so only a little of the color comes out here. I think I need to diffuse the lighting more.

Once again dude, very nice !
