It's from the Philippines, can't tell you what the denomination is because there is no size reference and the denomination is on the other side of the coin which you do not show.

It says United States of America because at that time the Philippines was a US possession. It became a commonwealth in 1935 and later an independent country in 1946.

 

If it's the size of a small dime it's 10 centavos and silver.

 

Should look like this. At least on one side. These coin are listed in the Red Book.

Thanks to all. This coin was up for sale for 5$ with only one picture shown. It peaked my curiosity with USA on one side.

 

Yeah, I remember the first one centavo I ever saw...I was wondering what the hey...

 

Had me scratching for sure! On a side note are there any 84 lmc counterfeit double ears to anyone's knowledge?

 

If there are, I give up. I can't come up with a reason to want a REAL one.

 

That coin is from the Commonwealth period, 1936-46.

His coin is from the series that preceded that one.

But you are correct, the lady wielding the hammer is on both.
