Anyone ever seen a coin like this before? It looks gold all the way through where it was drilled, but ?
Any info on where this coin is from, or what composition it is would be greatly appreciated...

It looks more like brass than gold to me, since gold doesn't discolour on the surface like that. But brass does.

w/ Sap. He is correct in the fact that gold doesn't tarnich/corrode. It can stay in the grouns 1,000s of year and look the same. It is probably brass as he said.
