    Can anyone identify this coin? You can't tell from the pics,but it is beautifully toned. Also I like the design,now I just want to know what it is and where It's from. [​IMG]http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z331/Dennis680/IMAG0336-1.jpg[/IMG)

    Does anyone happen to know what this coin is? It is the size of a half dollar, looks clad and on one side there is a pitchfork with swirls around it in a circle and on the reverse side are two men's heads, one with glasses, the other without. The lettering looks Russian, but that's just my guess. Thanks!

    Sorry, used a crummy phone to take a pic, will try again tonight!

    unless they changed to copper plated something it is 95% copper 3–4% zinc 1–2% tin - i have a handful of those from my times visiting okinawa - I like the vines or whatever that is behind the value & japan kanji
