    I have a coin '1966' with a hole in the middle of it. On one side is, what looks to be an olive branch and the amount is 20...I think it might be Greek but I just dont know. If anyone has any idea of where it came from or how much its worth...PLEASE let me know.
    Thanks

    If you can't post a picture, at least tell us what else it says on the coin, what metal it is made of, and the size.

    Simon Bolivar was the "George Washington" of several Latin American countries. If the denomination is "Bolivares", the coin is Venezuelan, but several countries have issued coins honoring Bolivar, the Liberator.

    Chrisw9000,'Estados Unidos de Venezuela' is the Spanish for 'United States of Venezuela'. 'Gram 10' is '10 Grams'. 'Lei 835'
    is the silver fineness - .835 silver. 1924 is obviously the date.
