Once in a lifetime! Congrats!

I bet it's two coins somehow mated together, like for a magician's trick.

Hi! Welcome to Coinpeople! Sorry for the delay in response.

Obviously, it's hard to make a conclusive judgement without knowing the year. I can't really tell from the photo. It can't be worth more than a handful of dollars. That's not bad though!

Interesting. Is there a reason Australia celebrated the Year of the Horse?

I like that. I wonder if Art has seen it.

That is very nice. I know nothing about ancient coins, but I hope someone can help.

I love finding old nickels. What a classic mintmark placement.

Very pretty!

Awesome! Is it for your personal collection?

Daffy!

BEAUTIFUL. Remind me again what the H rarity designates? More or less rare than "R" (etc.)?

Add as many to the list as you want! I'd definitely separate Czechia (the new name) from Slovakia and Czech Republic. Good luck with South Sudan! Do they even have a currency yet?

Levitation!!!

If you are asking about the 5 different date Bern cantonal schützenfest medals, they are as follows, left to right: 1965, 1935, 1935, 1928, and 1920

Ahh... I swear I looked over those images 10 times and didn't see the dates until just now.

VERY cool! How did the nickel show up as copper?

Art, I've always loved you sharing IHCs on here.

It seems to me that as the general interest in collecting wanes, the need grows for the ability to produce custom displays like the wonder albums we see here. Of course and advantage would be that the coins could be safely stored in inert materials and safe locations while being beautifully displayed in a number of “collector” arrangements. 

Art, I really want to make my own coin collection holder but I know the materials have to be selected carefully. The wood, the finish, the felt, etc.

What year is it?

Beautiful! And great pic, too!

Thats's really cool. Can you identify any dates?

Is that an owl riding a sturgeon? What a hoot!

I agree with Corina. If it was a doubled die, you would see very pronounced doubling on other features and text of the coin. Good find though.

Hi! Welcome to Coinpeople! There's probably nothing unusual about your coin - just an old worn coin (you'd look like that if you were shuffling around for 82 years!). Best case scenario for you - the die used to strike the coin was worn or partly filled with grease when it struck the coin leaving an incomplete mark.

Maybe someone silvered it as a science experiment 

Very cool obverse!
