It's a Danish-Slovakian-unification coin with a value of Sparrow Lepta!

Not in our catalogue yet, so please add it as soon as possible !!!
Jarcek, I volunteer to be referee for the Danish-Slovakian union as I am fluent in gibberish
Just call me Bram

No new swaps for the moment, still too many half-ongoing swaps to clean up!

The Danish-Slovakian Union..... you mean that country between Rocketmanland and Otto the Man's empire?

Clearly a FAKE Danish - Slovakian union coin. The Swedes are notorious for these replicas.

It looks real to me, the details look fine and I just put a neodymium magnet on my screen and it did not attract. I think it is even the 100% 24 karat nordic gold plated variety from Niue.
I saw a lot of them for sale on ebay. Apparently they are very very RARE!

Now when 1st April is over, I wish to thank you all for participation. :)

By the way, it was a hawfinch rather than a sparrow and Lithuania rather than Slovakia. The double cross was from a Lithuanian token which is not present in the Numista's catalogue.
