Coin Help

My son found this in his cash drawer at work in the penny tray.
What country is it from and what is the amount on the coin?
Thanks for any help.

Austria. 2 Heller.

When this coin was minted, Austria was actually the Austria-Hungary Empire and it was what is now an array of different European countries nowadays. As a result of multiple languages used, there was not much for a legend on the coins minted during the time frame. I have a 20 heller piece that took me a good good while to figure out where it was from as well. As far as your piece, the KM # is 2801 and about 74 million were struck that year. Sadly the numismatic value in circulated condition (according to 2009 Standard Catalog of World Coins) is about 15 to 35 cents.
