FUREE COIN Brass or gold?
« on: November 18, 2014, 04:48:57 am »
Hi I have this furee coin (not identified)

I am wondering, it has a copper core and a furee of something else. The furee is very hard so I it gold, brass ore something else.

On the top left you can see the copper in a little spot.

If you can identify the coin for me I would be happy.
