Any guess as to the Country, coin or grade?

One clue- the coin is not from a country in the Western Hemisphere.

I thought it would be fun to start the thread in a different direction...

Okay... perhaps with little direction

edited to add-

Great service by PCGS on this submission- (7/27/2010) and result posted today- Thanks for the World Coin selection as the CC Quarterly special and I encourage others to submit a coin as if there is big interest, it can only be positive

    Thanks for the time frame heads up. I just sent a superb 1913 Canadian Large cent for the CC special and was wondering how long it would take.

    I have the coin in hand as we post and there seems to be a level of interest that... well ... in my best Orson Welles voice... Only the Shadow knows...

    While there have been some reasonable guesses-

    The country is one that the is across the English Channel from England- its not France

    Congrats

    One of one choices is correct and I think you know which it is ... so which is it?


    You deserve a prize- but what will you do with another Churchill Crown?

    Right coin and you missed on the grade but that is okay- AU58-

    The coin is terrific and with wonderful fields and cartwheel lustre. I submitted the coin hoping for an MS grade contemplating cabinet friction but as Henry Longhurst said often... and it was not to be... even though I maintain my grading is better than my putting

    I finally got around to checking the PCGS pop for this date- 4 have been graded and this one ranks last- the others are MS
