I picked up a small lot of silver coins today. Common stuff, Philippines, Netherlands, etc.
One coin was different, and I set out to identify it. It took a few minutes, but I got it.
I had so much fun, I wanted to offer that opportunity to all of you. Please do comment on how long it took you and how much fun you had, but please do not spoil it for others.
The Coin is silver and about 16mm.

If you want one more clue....


The reverse is not damaged or worn.

Well I guess that qualifies in terms of "do not spoil it for others"

I don't think I would have got there quickly but there it was written...

I can honestly say that I got it in like three seconds after seeing the picture, before I even scrolled to the answer.

Why? Well, because this...

...is my second oldest dated coin. So I recognized the flower immediately.
