[QUOTE="rte, post: 17177387, member: 78199"]I think we can all agree it wasn't a trial strike. The production coin is copper - nickel and 75,000,000 mintage. [URL]https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/italy-20-centesimi-km-28.1-1894-cuid-1124150-duid-1472864[/URL] I thought maybe the outer encasement was something like a metal washer and the coin glued in. Could be someone's pocket piece? Someone trying to made a larger denomination coin? size and weight of like a dollar. It's too ruff around the coin edge to be a mold for counterfeiting? With the blackened look I was thinking someone maybe used it as an ink stamp? OR stamp for hot wax letter sealing? Something along those lines... Lots of possibilities.[/QUOTE]
