[QUOTE="Nicolai3985, post: 22223, member: 1614"]Can anyone ID this coin for me please? My mother found it at work, and left it to me to identify. I've had no luck so far. [img]http://cede.psu.edu/~njp154/coin/coin1.jpg[/img] [img]http://cede.psu.edu/~njp154/coin/coin2.jpg[/img] In case the pictures aren't clear enough, the coin is worth 2 units of currency, and is dated 1894. The reverse side has a shield in the center with some very fine designs around the edges (not wording, unfortunately). The rest appears to be a double-headed bird of some sort, whose wings make up most of the sides of the surface. One foot is holding a sword, while I can't quite make out what the other foot has (a round, flat object, with what looks like the hilt of another sword sticking out of it). Above the bird's heads is a crown of some sort. If I were to guess, the bird design is Mexican-looking. But a little searching for pictures online revealed nothing. Any help please?
