Hi all,
I recently saw this coin on a website and would like to know what coin this is.
The website does a great job of describing the designs on the coin, but fails to identify the date or denomination.
Any help would be appreciated

This is a very interesting piece and probably not a coin but some type of charm. I did a quick search at zeno.ru which is an excellent source for pieces of this type but didn't come up with anything. A more extensive search may come up with the answer. Again and interesting piece and one I wouldn't mind having.

Yes, they're not "coins" in the sense of being government-issued money, with a denomination. They're privately-made charms.

I believe forum member manymore is the owner of that website.
