A recap of the hints:

It was minted between 1900 and Today.

It is composed of a Silver alloy.

It is between 18-20mm in diameter

A person with a crown is on one side of it

It weighs between 2-3 grams

It's NOT from Cyprus

It's NOT From North America

The "person" with the crown is NOT female

The country is NOT an Island

Ok, this should be the last clue: It is NOT a Decimal Coin, e.g., 10 Cents or 5 Cents.
