Got this in a roll today. I've seen them like this before, but this one has really nice highlighting.

Cupro-nickel coins often go red like this if buried in the ground for a while. When metal-detecting in the UK I've often found 5p, 10p, 20p and 50p coins that have turned a similar colour. My guess is that someone dug it up and spent it.
