Hi experts 

this coin has baffled me and my friend for weeks,

it has same effigy on both sides, haven't a clue about the lettering, we know nothing about old coins.

any information no matter how small may stop me pulling my hair out with frustration 

many many thanks in advance

kindest regards

steve

A picture better then thumbnail quality might help, but it's most likely not a coin when both sides are the same.

Thank you for the reply

all and any information is very much appreciated 

Is this yours you are trying to sell?

 

Hi

trying to find out exactly what it is first and any history about it before selling it, like country of origin date that kinda thing, definitely has value to the right collector

thanks

steve

when the crazy silly high bid/price still has postaged added on it lmao

🤫Burs in the hole have been removed for the sell. That’s a nice thought 
Shame out of my budget I can’t afford it. Shipping cost too high.

 

how many do you have?

Hi

just the one, the pictures are both sides,

would you have any idea why that would be

any idea what the crazy lettering is around the edges,

I can't even find country of origin 

the only things I've been told is back I medieval times holes in coins were fairly common and by the effigy on coin it could be anywhere between 12th to 15th century.

anyway I will keep searching maybe one day someone might come up with it's full history haha

many thanks

Steve

Probably play money from 20 years ago. The gibberish that is meant to be writing indicates it's very modern. 

Top left exact match to mine

 

cant believe anything

you see these days

no wonder I get confused

dont worry I just don't believe it

Top left exact match to mine

No wonder it matches exact with yours, it's the picture you showed us in your first post.

I see yes you are correct but if you look at my other replies there is a picture of the coin I have, you can see the shape of the coins are totally different if you look closely.

the last pi I posted wa from eBay starting bid 11.000 US

which I believe to be a scammer.

anyway I am not looking to make a dime i am looking for the history, I am not selling this coin/ token or whatever it is, this sole coin was found in a locker that my friend won I a auction, nothing fishy going on, just looking for someone that maybe knew factually what it was and yes value if it had any but unfortunately and not  meaning to be disrespectful to anyone all I am getting is guesses

very sorry if I confused anyone

Neither side is showing any wear for a 500-600 year old coin. There is damage but I think it's artificial damage.  That damage to the edge is in the exact same spot on your coin and the one in the facebook post (which I do believe is not a picture of yours). I still believe it a modern toy made to resemble something like this:  

Many many thanks for your help

putting those pictures side by side, as you may tell I am not to clever with this tech stuff and also your thoughts on this coin.

just to clarif, I was very surprised to find that pic on eBay exactly like mine so after a little more research I sent an email to the curator of archeological museum in Bosnia, to my surprise I recieved a reply back telling me that the description in the eBay picture was 100% wrong and it wasn't king tvrtko 1 or any of the Bosnian nobles depicted on that coi, and that is how I know that was fake, sadly that was only info given which by the way gratefully appreciated.

it may seem like I am going to great lengths trying to get info on this coin but I'm retired and bored but I find it interesting and keeps me busy.

hope I haven't bored you or your site to much

regards

Definitely looks like a fantasy piece and not a genuine coin

Just fake play money, absolutely worthless copy of a supposedly Renaissance era coin.

 

Wouldn't be surprised if its plastic.

 

Actual value - sub 1 cent.

I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.
