I was wondering if anyone could help me identify this coin, I recently happened upon it from a friend. History behind it would be fantastic as well

I'm no expert

At first I assumed the lettering was ancient Nordic. Then I saw the dragon, and knew it was Asiatic in design. The "5" is Indian, so is the lettering I think. From where in India or from what time, I don't know. That may not be a dragon, but a demon

I'll keep looking for the next 30mins - 1 hour.

appreciate it, i'm trying to write down the runes down now to translate. I thought it was pre-euro nordic....

It might be Nordic. The perfect symmetry and unfaded texture probably means it was minted sometime in the last 250~ or so years. The "5" is represent five is only used in Europe or India, sometimes Arabic

but ill keep looking

Well, I give up. I tried everything.

I don't think its from a European colony, since they would stamp their monarchs face on all coins. However, it uses a "5" as a number. That's European, Arabic, or Indian style. I don't think an Asian currency would have that.

It might be some sort of Easter-European/Greek/Turkish coin. You'd have to search for the various languages of those regions.

It could be Indo-Greek. Cossack, Hussar

The alphabet looks Nordic..It might just be a fancy reproduction. Its too clean to be ancient

Transylvanian looked promising

maybe ffind out what kind of language used that style of slanted 5
