I could probably give you some info on it if I knew what country it came from, or could see a picture of it.

If it's Pakistan then about 84 cents U.S. check out: http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi for a free currency conversion table.

no its from indonesia. attached is a front and rear photo I got it back around 1997 or 1996, can't remember exactly.

In VF condition it is only worth 10 cents. It is actually a 50 rupiah coin. It is made of copper and nickel. Even if it was uncirculated it would only be 50 cent. It looks like there was al lot of these made. I would hold on to it though since a friend gave it to you.
