HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24977 Posts	Posted 03/05/2025 02:51 am Brandmeister, those are really tiny coins. This one is not listed on Numista, but a 0.5 g one is 11 mm. I imagine that it was dinged or bent. Also, I don't think that OP owns this coin and posted a stock photo.

jonlevy New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 03/05/2025 08:09 am I know Bavarian State Mint does the Elephants and Leopards and Commonwealth some of the others but their product is usually better quality. The other possibibilites are Baird or maybe even something Russia. China, Ukraine? I don't own the coins but am trying to improve the census of issues with seal of Somalia Republic on the reverse.

jonlevy New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 03/05/2025 11:20 am Yes, I saw the issuance data on Numista but no mention of the mint. Only a few mints do rhodium, although this is supposedly "mystery Rhodium" https://www.ebay.com/itm/167338240441 Report this Post to the Staff
