This made me smile today: [ATTACH]
Ah - so it's a contemporary miniature? Interesting. What purpose did these serve? The eBay link says something about the miniatures being for...
Anyone have an idea?
I'm not sure what this is - maybe a Belgian 20 centime? It's only 12.5mm and looks to have been dug up, so please pardon the picture quality....
Bump.
I probably paid too much, but I picked up a very nice 1935 Swiss 20 Franc yesterday. I picked it out of a group of 5 after noticing something odd...

I'm trying to find out more about this. It seems to be a 1945 UNESCO presentation medal, but it's not among the 55 medals that UNESCO's website...
And as a side note, the "5" mark makes ID'ing this denomination really confusing. 5/10 instead of 1/2? Weird.
So, the other 2 coins (#2 & #3) appear to be 5/10 Qirsh coins (Egypt KM304: AH1328-1332: ~1911-1914). I'm not having any luck finding a mintage...
I wasn't thinking of Egypt (knew there was something I was missing)! That said, I'm seeing it in my book at KM306 rather than KM299. Year 2...
Separate names with a comma.
