I cannot for the life of me find any information on this coin. It is very thin (1mm), it is aluminum and has a diameter of 15mm. Please provide a link to the pic or info you have found. If someone can identify it then I have a small packet of world coins I will send you. Don't get too excited though, when I say small I mean perhaps 5 coins that are not of much value. Just some extras I have. I will pay for the postage. Obverse (I think):  Reverse (I think):  Good luck, I couldn't find anything. |

The more I think about it this might not even be a coin, not in the sense of legal tender, but some kind of token? There isn't a year and only a denomination of 10 (10 what I don't know), so perhaps.

It probably is a token.  Edited by Dewayne76

It's definitely not a world coin. My guesses would be either a token, play money or "stage money".

It looks so crude, that I am guessing it is a play money. The FM on the back ould just possibly be the Franklin Mint, but it looks too crude to be from them. It is possible it is a tolken from somewhere, But I really don't know- I have never seen one like this. How big is it? Diameter?

It's a bit too crude to declare that it's token or some sort. Some coins, especially Central America, Spain, South America and so on had coins that did resemble like tokens, in particular the revolutionary times.

It's 15 mm in diameter and only 1 mm thick, if that, it is very thin. I got with a bunch of world coins. A U.S. dime is 18 mm so it is a little smaller than that. I think the scan is making it look bigger than it really is because I was trying to get as much detail as I could. Edited by Irishraider
