I have looked at every coin in every country I think this coin could be from in my Krause 1901-Present (copyright 2006). I tried to match the mint to the mints listed in the Krause. I've looked all over the web. I can't find this coin.

I thought the grove cut through the obverse(?) would be a pretty easy identifier, but no luck so far. If you can ID it, please let me know how you did it.

DCH,

Thank you!

I didn't even consider that it may be a token. I have a lot to learn about the "dark-side"

Now the reverse makes sense! It's an old rotary phone dial.

Thanks again!
