One-Of-The-Stranger-Coin-Designs....

The obverse of a disembodied hand struck me as rather odd, however, when paired with the legend, which I believe loosely translates to 'Our Future', it would seem to me a rather novel way of depicting 'The future is in our hands'

Any other thoughts or corrections?

Didn't Germany have hammered coins that depicted God as a hand (out of respect for the Deity)? It may be meant to be interpreted that the future is in God's hands.

I wish I had a roll of these for the panhandlers.

Though I'd need to do some serious work on my sprinting skills....

Interesting design, kind of like it.
However my dyslexia strikes again: I read "Unsure Zukunft", and was wondering why there was one word in English and one in German, as well as what's the whole meaning of the coin.
