Hi. I found a coin. Tried to look it up online but couldn't find anything exactly the same. On the front its a picture of Queen Elizabeth 2nd. Left side says Elizabeth ll. Right side is the problem. It says Australia 1997. The back has the number 5 and some leaves. I can't find this anywhere. All the coins I have found that were similar say Canada.
Anyone know anything?
Thanks in advance.
Katie

If you can get a pic, that's most helpful. If not, full description of the reverse and diameter of the coin.

Thanks Katie

What you have there is an Australian 5c coin.
The "leaves" are actually the feet of an echidna which is a native Australian animal.
