Hello everybody!

My name is Samantha - I'm in the UK and have been handed a whole load of British (old) coins and some foreign ones. I've got an interesting coin possibly from Greece that has been made into a pocket watch fob (so Google says) but it was unsure on what coin it was. Google started to say it's a coin from that year's olympics but then said that coin doesn't exist - so was dumbfounded. Anyone here know what it is? Thanks - Samantha. ps realise they're not very clean ...

It's a 6 pence from South Africa during the Boer period.

What oriole said : South African (Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek, ZAR) six pence from just before the Second Boer War, portrait of Paul Krueger. This coin right here. I have one myself, dated 1892.

First welcome to CCF. Second, while our overwhelming advise is to never clean coins, the hole that was placed in this coin removes the majority of the numismatic value. I personally still wouldn't clean it though.
