Hello. I'm completely clueless when it comes to numismatics and my apologies for the vague Subject line. But, I don't even know how to describe it. This may not even be a coin, but I don't know. It used to belong to my dad who died a couple of years ago. No clue where he got it, either. I appreciate your kind attention and any help you can give.   |

Punic might be a better description, tanit, specifically, but that may not be what it is.

Sorry @gincoin, but none of that is what the OP has. Rather this is a giveaway token at some churches nowadays--a rough copy of a Judean Prutah. Here is a link to one previously posted example: http://goccf.com/t/278579Here is a link to the real deal: http://goccf.com/t/245606"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Excellent! Thanks so much, and very speedily! I doubt that I'll ever get hold of any coins other than pennies through quarters, but at least I know where to get fast and knowledgeable information. I wish I was able to offer something to this board, but alas...
Again, many thanks!
