I have been searching high and low, went through all of world coin gallery, google, and various forums. I have a coin here that is most likely worth 2 cents, but I would love to know more information on it

On the front, has no text
Please-Help-Identify

On the back it reads at the top "Olympia Stadion"
and on the bottom " Berlin-STADTder BEGEGNUNGEN and 925 at the very bottom
Please-Help-Identify

Any help would be amazing!
Sorry for the poor picture quality, my camera prefers to take photos of big well lit objects :(

Pretty sure it's an Austrian coin. Commemorative of the Berlin Olympics. Ironically I think I saw this coin on ebay earlier this morning

First of all, I'm pretty sure it's not a coin, rather a medal.
The design looks like 25 or 50 Austrian schillings, but it is not. The number of shields around is 12 instead of 10, and a shield in the center (is it a bear?) - I can't place it yet!
925 on the bottom may refer to the fineness of silver, .925 or sterling silver, although from these pictures it's hard to confirm that this piece is silver.
A better top image, with clearly visible shields, could help us to better locate the origin of your medal.

Thank you, all this info is so helpful, I'm getting to the point of taking it to a shop, but if you guys aren't certain, I doubt they will be. Is this medal rare?

The coat of arms with the bear on it is the arms of Berlin; I can't make out what the other arms around it are; perhaps they are the arms of the other provinces of Prussia at the time. The stadium is as it appeared back in 1936.

you guys are awesome, thank you so much! I ended up taking it to a shop, and they were unsure about it as well, what I know about it , is that its Austrian 1936 bleh, the research continues.
