A long way from home

Went on a hunt last night at a local park. About 20 minutes into the hunt i got a bronze signal at 4 inches. I dug and to my surprise out popped a 1945 Half Piastre from Cyprus. I though it was a pretty strange find until I looked it up and found out that the Wheaties cereal company had This coin as a prize in a cereal box in the 1940s. Thanks for looking
