I received this coin in a bulk lot of uncleaned coins. It is 14mm and weighs about .50grams. It has never been cleaned and is in raw condition.. Thank you.

Sorry I cannot help identify this interesting coin, but can say that it is not believable that a 14 mm coin weighs .50 grams. Please recheck the weight.

The millimeters are correct. The weight is accurate to a couple of hundredths of a gram. It is tiny and about as thick as a matchbook.

Thank you very much for the id information. I have had the coin for about 30 years. I did not clean it because I did not know what it was. Thanks again.
