Quote: I think I have a silver coin somewhere, with that same design .. I was wonder what country it was from Similar coins come from Egypt, and possibly other Middle East countries, too.

Great Britain 1869 penny. This is the key date of the 1860-94 pennies - although the official mintage figure is 2,580,480, it is scarce in any condition and extremely rare in Mint State. Mine was a very lucky junk bin find!

Quote: BB is the mintmark for Strasbourg. Thank you NumisRob for the correction. *And* for the reminder that I am at the age where trusting memory on stuff like that is not the best idea.  Here's one for jbuck, 102 years removed from his favorite dollar. Coin has 'terminal' gun-metal-black toning. It is presently filling a 7070 hole.
