    Hello,

    I recently came across a coin that I cannot find any information about online. I will include a picture and a description below in the hopes that one of you will know what it is (and maybe how much it's worth).

    The coin is a silver color with a shield on one side. It has a two-headed bird on the shield, and it looks as if the shield is in front of a curtain. On the other side, there is a picture of a man, who I'm assuming is Skanderbeg, AKA George Castriot, who was a 15th century Albanian nobleman. Going around the picture of the man are the words "Georgivs Castriotvs Skanderbek" (with "Skanderbek" underneath the man).

    Take a look at the pictures below, and if anyone has any idea what this coin is, please let me know.
    Thanks!!!

    Well, it's not a coin.

    I'd say it is a late 19th, early 20th C. commemorative token.

    Let's say pre WWII Albania from the name and arms.
