    I picked this up during my last LCS visit. I figured it was some kind of token, but a Google search yields not a single match. It's hard to believe no one has ever posted anywhere about this, but I can't find anything. Anyone have any knowledge about this? I also considered that it is some kind of toy money but still I can't find anything. 1958 ceylon 2 cents.jpg

    My first thought was the "2 Cents" side was a host coin for a private strike on the reverse about Irv Niemoeller. Would "Irv" possibly be a nickname for Martin Niemoeller? He was a fairly prominent fellow.

    There was no 1958 Ceylon 2 cents made, and the ones from around that time period look different. And just Googling Irv Niemoeller doesn't yield any matches so I don't think it's related to Martin. Irv would usually be Irving.

    There was a set of books back in the 1950's (?) by a fellow named Pridmore or Pridemore (Spelling?) that many list this.
