    Not a coin, instead a model crown.

    You can find some more information on this one here

    I've been looking for years for the reference book on the subject (mentioned at the bottom of the link in the previous post):

    Toy Coins by Rogers (Galata, 1990). Out of print and very difficult to locate, especially in the US.

    Anyone have a copy?

    Nice link, farthing.

    I had some of these, once.

    I believe they are listed in the Krause "Unusual World Coins" volume, too, unless I'm much mistaken.
