Found this in a box of nickels. It was just a little smaller then a nickel. I have no idea a year or what country it is from.

Hmmmm, best guess on my part is country of origin is either Thailand or Malaysia. The bust looks vaguely familiar, and the buildings on the back resemble old temples in Thailand.

Dang! I might have nailed it after all. Guess that shows what spending time on this forum will do for a man's education.

It appears as though it is a Thai 50 Satang piece, their equivalent of a half dollar. Made of brass, about the size of a dime.
