Odd Coin received as change.

[Cosentino]

I got an odd, penny sized copper coin as change from a gas station for a purchase I made earlier today, and am having trouble working out what it is. I live in Norfolk, Virginia, USA, so I don't believe the coin is anything local. Norfolk does have a large Navy base, so the coin could be from pretty much anywhere in the world.
