1915 Cuba 40 Centavo.
Designed by Chief US Mint Engraver Charles E. Barber and struck at the US Mint in Philadelphia, ironically at the end of Barber coinage being struck in the US.
At exactly 10 grams of .900 silver, it's much bigger than a silver quarter but not quite as large as a silver half.
First year of a small 3-year mintage. This is a really nice, even, VF-XF example with no problems. Check out the tail on the "5" in the date! :)
Asking $20 shipped paypal.

    Cool. I've got one of these around somewhere. I think I knew they were struck at Philly, but didn't know they were a Barber design. Thanks for sharing that tidbit.

    Nice bit o' silver.
