A Coin you don't see everyday: 1890 Ceylon Quarter Cent!
OOPS WRONG FORUM, SORRY
Found this a couple days ago and just got around to cleaning it. Actually thought it was a button at first because of the design around the edges. Took the crud off and saw Queen Victoria. Don't recall any Canadian coins being that small, especially when "Quarter Cent" appeared. It's an 1890 Quarter Cent from Ceylon, which was later renamed Sri Lanka.
Mintage looks to only be 200,000, but not much value. It's really cool to be doing this for so long and still find new things like this. Just wanted to share. HH all!
