Hello everyone I have this coin sadly I don't have a pic of but it really is hard to identify. It has a bust of a man who has long hair and is wearing some sorta top hat thing. and the reverse has a number 2 and 2 rifles which cross each other and on top of the rifles is a branch of leaves. Oh ya, the year is 1976. Someone please help me I really need it

From the description I bet you have the KM 117 Two Drachma from Greece. The man is Georgios Karaiskakis - Drachma is spelled out in Greek under the 2. A D looks like a triangle - the R looks like a P the A looks like an A the CH is X then AI. So if it looks like APAXMAI you have identified your coin. The hat is a fezz.

Well done, Swamperbob. I'd have guessed "Guatemala"...
