jvic Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hello! I'm very new to this website and, actually, I'm posting this on behalf of my father-in-law. I'm mentioning this because, in case anyone wants to ask any question related to numismatics, they should know that I know close to nothing about it. The reason I post this is because my father-in-law has been trying to identify the coin in the picture for some time now with no success. Can anyone help me please?
