Bulgarian; CTOTNHKN is what is called a Stotinka. 100 Stotinki equals 1 LEV; the basic unit of money in Bulgaria--similar to our dollar. This coin might then be thought of as a five cent piece. (My guess)
The lev was introduced as Bulgaria's currency in 1881 with a value equal to the French franc. (Source: Wiki)
25 years earlier than your coin, the 5 stotinka had these specs:
Weight: 5 g
Type of metal: Cu 950 Sn 40 Zn 10
Diameter: 25
I'll assume yours is the same.

Wow, thanks for all those details. I have no idea how this one found its way into my collection. Does it have any value given age/rarity?
