I'm doing a big clean up since I last my list on excel (with no fresh back up done) and find that I have this quarter (I bought many years ago). The planchet is wrong. The weight is 3.6 gr and diameter is 22.1 mm.  |

Is it attracted to a magnet? Is the colour we see on the screen the true colour? It looks brassy...
If non-magnetic, and brass in colour it could be struck on a Barbardos 5-cent planchet (red-brass).
If it is not brassy colour, and non-magnetic, then it could be struck on a United Arab Emirates 25 Fils planchet.
If it is attracted to a magnet, it could be struck on a Israel 1 (New) Sheqel planchet (nickel-bonded steel).

The colour on the screen is the true one (brassy). The coin is non-magnetic. It might be done on a Barbados 5 cents.
Thanks SPP for your details.

I'm just spit balling here since I don't have the weight, dimensions etc. on hand, but could it be a twoonie core?
Feel free to call me Will.
