if it's not a counterfeit, I don't really know what it could be, anyway. Maybe any kind of propagandistic token, to sponor the new currency (something similar was made with Euro during the 90's)? But... so badly minted and with no value at all?
-
Thanks. Smaller diamter makes me think of a counterfeit, so as its thickness
-
Too similar to real ones? So, do you think it could be a counterfeit coin?

Welcome!

Original 1 new penny

HI, what do you think about this coin?
It's a copy of 1 penny 1971, first year after decimalization.
I'm not sure if it's a token (maybe a play coin) or a fake. It isn't surely well minted, but maybe people was not so expertised with ney pennies at that time
Weight: about 1.6 grams, instead of 3.56
Diameter: about 19.4 mm, instead of 20.32
Thickness: about 1.2 mm, instead of about 1.6
The two faces seem to have been separately minted and badly assembled.
metal looks like brass.
Portrait is quite ugly and there's non value at all!
Thanks in advance

You're right! Pic's too small at my sight

HI!. Are you sure it's an error. It seems like somebody has rotated the inner circle. It's not so diffucult to do. I like the pic, as well.

mi piace la parola "anche" :-)
I see more and more Euros around Africa these days. The 5 Euro note is, of course, very popular.
keyboards misteries... it should have been "and"

Just a little bit off topic (but not so much) European Union, British, South African anche Botswana's coins circulate, as well

In fatc, I found other playmoney, similar to mine, on the web. Thanks.
-
I also thought about a playcoin, but I've never seen one of that period and so similar to a real one

Yes I know the original 5 marks coin but, obviously, it's completely different in weight, diameter and metal
-
in fact, ancient conis do not have denomination or country of issue, but I'm not so aknowledged about this kind of coins to tell if it's real, fake or fantasy coin or a medal

Hallo! I owe a little medal that portraits a 5 marks Hindnburg coin (mint sign D). Does anybody knows what it is?
A medal so similar ti a coin's quite strange to me. A token? I don't think so. I'm quite sure it's not a modern copy, since it would sound very strange, due to its simobology.
Weight: 1 gram
Diametr: 16 mm

Thanks in advance. Luca

Hi, I fear it's a fake. Could you describe its edge (or should i say contour?) please?
-
Great coin!

I can confirm what ccg said about Moroccan and Thailandese coins
Israeli one is 1/2 Lirah with the Star of David (minted from 1971 to 1979)
Saudi coin is 2 Ghirsh
Nepalese one is 10 paisa minted in 1979 (FAO commemorative)

Italo-American exhibition was held in Genova (Columbus fatherland) in 1892, to celebrate the fourth centennial of America's dicovery and you can see the date on yours medal's reverse.
You can see some pictures of the exhibition, here

European Currency Unit is a sort of Euro ancestor. In fact, it was a simple currency unit and there wasn't a circulation coinage. Some of European Monetary System's members, anyway, minted a few commemorative coins (I remember of The Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Gibraltar). Anyway, just like for Euro, there are a lot of ECU patterns that are not coins, in any way

PS. Maastricht is a Dutch city, where European Union was founded on 1992. In 1993 it replaced old EEC.
