    I don't have my books in front of my right now but it looks to me like it could be an O-108, but I'll do some more checking on my lunch break, because I'm not quite sure.

    Ok I did some checking and it looks to me to be an O-108a which is an R3 coin.

    There should be some die lines between the end of the bust and the edge, which I think I can see in the second photo of the obverse, the five should be slightly higher than the 0 and tipped to the left and the C in 50 C is sharply tipped to the left, additionally A3 on the right leg is broadened from a die chip. If anyone thinks I've got the wrong one just let me know.
