    Hi - I obtained this coin in a mixed lot so I wouldn't be surprised if it is not even real but nothing sticks out to me as a red flag. I am still new at this though :smile About 18mm and 1.4g. Any ideas what it is or is supposed to be?

    Thank you!

    I don't want to call it a fake, but if it is an imitation it is a very interesting one. It reminds me of the central asian coinage (the style), which leads me to believe it is a fantasy coin. Imitations are usually more "cartoon" looking.

    Let me see what I can find to compare it.
