Found this with my DFX last winter on an elementary school playground in southwest missouri. I.D.'d at +48 about 4 inches. Valuable? maybe. interesting? yeah, how did it get here?

Not too valuable but a neat find all the same! It's a 5 francs piece from Belgium, Dutch language version: BELGIE. There's also a French language version: BELGIQUE. Metal is an aluminum-bronze alloy. Lists for about 35¢. Current rate of exchange would be 16¢ U.S.

That has to be one of the most unusual (dare I say it... ugly) coin designs I have ever seen...
Just one HobBob's opinion.
Carry on...
