Hi everyone,

Received this coin from Amazon - have not ordered anything like this. Haven't been charged. No one has said they have sent it. No information in parcel. The front I have seen is two dollars coin from the Bahamas but what is the back? Please help. Any information greatly appreciated.

@Charlie100892, first welcome to CCF. Second, is this piece attracted to a magnet? The Chinese have created a whole bunch of nonsensical mules (front of one coin and the back of a different coin from a different country to sell as oddities and this may be one of those.

It may be what is called a Magician's coin, two faces of different coins put together. Look for a seam, either around the outside rim or right next to the inside rim(by the cranes?

I would also if you still have what it came in check the return address. And just possibly this was mistakenly delivered to you by a mixup in addresses(flipped numbers, apts?)

Sorry I can't work out how to reply to you both. Thank you for responding. It is attracted to a magnet! I can't see an obvious seam though. Will send close up image. No return address or any information on parcel! Came in a package with laptop computer backpack label on? Very strange.

Ok no prob, your response is perfect and addresses both of our questions. Since it is attracted to a magnet, I am 100% sure that this is a fake.
