Hey I have this coin with Czar Nicolas on one side surrounded by "ЄΝΘΥΜΙΘ ΑΠΟ ΤΗ ΒΑΣΙΛΟΠΗΤΑ" and 2003 on one side and St. George and the Dragon on the other. It has no denomination on it, and ridges on the sides. Can anyone tell me more about this coin?
Well, these are "new year tokens". The Greek words in loose translation mean "Souvenir from the New Year Pie" and the year is, I guess... 2003 Vasilopita (ΒΑΣΙΛΟΠΗΤΑ) is a traditional bread baked for Greek new year, with a silver (or sometimes gold) coin or token in it. The person who receives this coin (or token) will have all the luck the upcoming year.
