Too funny, I was just running through my stack of "I don't know what country this is, I'll have to look it up" coins and was just staring at that design. Thanks from me too!

1963 Cyprus 5 MILS KM no 38

Sorry, I will disagree. Don has posted only the obverse, so we can't tell which denomination is exactly,but it could be the 25 mils (19.5mm), the 50 mils(23.7mm) or even the 100 mils (28.5mm), all copper nickel. It can't be the 1 mil (due to its shape) or the 5 mils that's in bronze. Also, the year is not 1963, but 1980, as it appears at the bottom. 1963 permanently appears on the newly designed shield of these coins that were first minted in 1963. The legend (Republic of Cyprus) to the left side is in Greek, the one to the right side is in Turkish.
