    Can’t find the same coin imagine anywhere. I’ve found similar calendars but not the exact same.

    Thanks!

    I have no idea. But that is a beautiful token/medal/whatever it is.

    1996 is my guess the date is near the 6 o'clock position on the reverse. It is either Austrian or German, and it is likely silver judging from the toning. Furthermore, V and the other roman numeral numbers correspond to each month, and the numbers associated with them are the Sunday's of each month that year.

    Edit: It is Austrian probably a piece of exonumia. I couldn't find anything remotely matching it on Numista.

    I believe the year is 2019.

    (Looks at computer monitor)

    (Yep. 2019, sure 'nuf.)

    Sorry, couldn't resist. You left yourself wide open for that lame joke with your title, there. ;)

    Seriously, though, I dunno, but I will second the comment that that is a stunning medal, and the calendar portion of it should be crackable.

    Might be a 1945 or 1954 judging by the "4" and "5" on the obverse.
    Could definitely be a 1996 as well.

    It looks like a calendar coin.

    As @Bradley Trotter said, there is a "1996" on the reverse at 6 o'clock. Go to the reverse, look at the sun in the center, then look straight down. You may have to click on the picture and expand it to see the date.

    That is a gorgeous coin/medal(?). It seems to be reproducing a medieval calendar on the reverse.
