Emmy1096 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I found this coin going through some of my moms old travel things. She has a lot of foreign coins from her travels and this is one of them. She doesn't remeber where she got this from though. Where is this from and how much is it worth? Is it even real?

rsraghead Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I'm not sure of the value, but it looks real from what I can see. Does it have a mint mark of fm? If so $100 and up on ebay. If it has ff like some on ebay, its fake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robtgossard Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hey! The coin looks like a vintage coin with a historical value to it. Why don’t you check out with a numismatist who will evaluate the coin and if he has the series of this coin then you will get a value for it, else Good luck!!!
