Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 06/09/2018 03:33 am A Magician's coin would have had something like another obverse or half of a different coin type in it. It could also be what is called a spy or smuggler coin, which would have had a hidden compartment. Alas, with the reverse piece missing we'll never know which it was.
