Listed in the Krause world coin catalogue as number KM/C 126b.3. In this barely recognisable condition it would only be worth a couple of dollars, but still it's scarcer than your typical Moroccan cast bronze and a good pick from a "3 for $1" scratchtray. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
