I saw this one in the junk bin last week.
The dealer told me it's either Croatia or a post-soviet state.

On a side note the coin I posted on WCG says that the coin has dual legend up to 1995 and then English legend only in 1996 but this one has both. Transition coin or what?

Is that a two-cent pattern piece from 1863?

More info, just for fun, from http://www.coinlibrary.com/info/ingodwetrust.html:

1863 Motto Pattern Coinage

The year 1863 was one of great experimentation at the U.S. Mint. Patterns were produced for the proposed copper one cent, Two Cent, and Three Cent pieces, plus the ten cent "postage currency" pattern, as well as other coins. A total of twenty-nine pattern coins bearing some form of the new motto were produced. In addition to the initial "GOD OUR TRUST" motto, "GOD AND OUR COUNTRY" was used on a Two Cent pattern, and the ultimately adopted motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" appeared on Two Cent, quarter, half dollar, and dollar patterns.
Rest in Peace

That is the coat of arms of the Republic of Guyana. As for which coin it is that's hard to tell.

Looks like it could be the 10 cents KM33, 25 cents KM34 or 50 cents KM35.

The 10 and 25 cent pieces were issued between 1967 and 1992. The 50 cent piece was only issued in 1967. All 3 are copper nickel.
