Hello,

I'm new to the community, having dug out several old coins during a recent cleanup at the house. I have tried and failed to identify one of the coins that I found. I tried using multiple coin identification apps as well as online guides to no avail. Unfortunately, I was not even able to identify what I believe is referred to as the type, or the main image in the middle from its description. It is entirely possible it's a worthless coin from some game or some thing, but I am intrigued to know what it might be, valuable or not. The letters on the front are unfamiliar to me as well. I have attached pictures, hopefully they are helpful. Any conjecture or positive identification would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know if you need any more details than what is found in the pictures.

Thank you!

to CCF!

This is a modern replica of a Judean prutah (also known as "widow's mite"). It is available at a low price from online shops.

@erafjel nailed it. We see these often on CCF.
