What do you think?

It can be a kind of love token made by a Hungarian (prisoner?) in Siberia over a rouble or half rouble.
On circle are 4 child names Arpad, Tiberiu ("little" Tiberiu=Tibike), Stefan (=Istvan=Pista, "little"Pista=Pistike), Gizela(=Gizike)
"Anyukanak" must be some regarding at the mother of these childs (Anyuka=Mommy in Hungarian language)
Advice: buy it! wink.gif

Chances are that the reverse was polished away and then reengraved as a medal. There are plenty of examples seen in US love tokens and such done on earlier 19th centure silver coins. I guess it's still worth at least it's silver bullion. smile.gif

Thanks a lot for the translation! Maybe it should read - "Mother Siberia 1915-18", since some Hungarian prisoner / worker got children there and Siberia is their motherland now? smile.gif
