I have the latest book but I cannot seem to find this coin. It is about 20mm in diameter and weighs less than 3 grams (more than 2 grams).
Thank you in advance for any information given.

I am looking at the 12th Edition of Krause, 2008, and the picture of the reverse is not even close to the coin here. I guess if the three of you concur, I am not going to dispute it. Thank you to all.

On a side note, I guess that explains why I could not find it. I feel a little better.
