First foreign coin

[TooManyHobbies]

I picked up some halves today ($80). All hand rolled. I found a '65 and an "Un Peso" - 1979. The Peso looks silver but I can't find any info on it. Kinda looks like a pirate on the obverse, left side profile of face. Cool find anyway.

Is this it? If so, it's clad, not silver. All foreign finds are cool though, congrats!

Thanks Immy, that's it. Smaller than a half, but the edge looks like a 90%. Oh, well, it's a cool find.

You should see how many of those things pop up in a bag down by the border. For some reason they always end up in the half dollar bags even though they are thinner and smaller in dia. I pulled over 20 of them from a bag once - wish they were worth more than $.15.
