Adiw Valued Member Israel 54 Posts	Posted 06/09/2020 4:49 pm One side of the coin is a 5 Batz from Bern 1826 and the other side is a 21 sol from Geneva 1710. Haven't been able to find anything about this coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34440 Posts	Posted 06/09/2020 9:14 pm Seems like a modern fantasy. Can you please post the weight and diameter of this piece? Also, can you give us an idea where you purchased it?

RogerRamjet Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 06/10/2020 01:34 am Comparing your images with those at https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22966.html and https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces48515.html, it's clear that yours didn't start as authentic coins. Sorry about that but it's still a very interesting piece. Two headed designs are often associated with magic tricks but magic tricks would typically involve current coinage and these two designs are more than a century apart. A wild guess is that somebody at one of the coin counterfeiting factories mixed up dies. Report this Post to the Staff
Adiw Valued Member Israel 54 Posts	Posted 06/15/2020 1:23 pm Thanks, I already know that it relates to 2 different dates. Wanted to check if anyone so this combination anywhere in the past. Report this Post to the Staff
