“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong.”

Sorry, but the last digit was damaged. Compare it a 3 on a steel 1943 cent
Also, I'm seeing nothing that indicates a quadruple mm
Not even close, I’m sorry to say to you
Damaged junk.
Looks like a damaged 1, definitely not a 3.

Had it tested and its bronze, go figure... well never the less its other details is better left up to a true expert!
