How do you tell?
My 2-cent peice is in pretty rough condition. It looks like someone shot it with a shotgun because it's so pitted. It sorta looks like the damage you'd see from a coin that has been in the ground a long time.
Anyway, even though it's worthless in this condition, can anyone tell if this is a large or small motto coin? I can only made out the "OD" in the motto, so not much to go by. I have been looking at photographs of both but cannot tell for certain. Perhaps someone with a trained eye can tell

The court jester does not play, but gently pulls the strings…
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
