So I have this coin which by every info I have gathered cannot find to have existed in 1913 - not with this image anyway. I have seen examples from 1845 and other, but not from 1913. Even several identification softwares point only to 1845. Please help me to identify it. Report this Post to the Staff

The inscription on the obverse (head side) is in Hungarian and the inscription on the reverse in Romenian. According to google translate the meaning is "minted in silver in 1913" and "blown with silver made in 1913". Which I interpret as "silver plated in 1913. A search wich google shows examples of identical medals with other years (1909, 1910 and 1912). I could not find an explanation of the use of these medals/tokens. The sites showing these are either in hungarian or romanian which is not easy to read. One site has an extensive description of these medals: https://allnumismaticshop.wordpress...er-din-1909/ Report this Post to the Staff
