I rarely purchase non-US coinage, but this one was (is) worn so slick that I couldn't pass it up. That leaves one glaring issue though... I haven't a clue what it is! Lol! I can see a silhouette on one side (assuming the obverse) with the letters "LI..." to the right of the bust. Reverse shows a date of 1924, but with two 0's preceeding it.

If anyone here has any idea what this might be, please enlighten me and I'll forever be grateful. At the least, I could pass it up for $1. Thanks!

 

Look at Venezuela. Should be easy to identify using a few easy measurements.
