Cleaning out the basement and found a box of old world coins that were given to me by a relative when I was just a little TH. Most were from the early 1900s but this one of course appears to be much older. Relative traveled a lot through Europe just after WWI.

It is 17mm.

Thanks

Unless my post didn't work both sides of the coin is pictured. As stated it is 17mm and I would guess silver.

Thanks

I would have this coin checked out by an expert, my gut feels copy. (say what I see, hard without having in the hand) I hope I'm wrong as in that condition its worth quite abit.
