Small coin can't identify

Hi can anyone help me I have no idea what it is and I can't understand the language !


  Greece 50 Lepta
Token collector [1600-1899] with some coins
Thanks :) I thought it was Greek but wasn't like any others I have :)
 Your picture looks like 1966 date under head. Is coin 18mm across?

 ... or you could have typed  1966 50  in the Search. Admittedly there are 141 results, but it would be among them! It is number 91 on there.  :)

Ah, thanks a lot - I didn't know it would have fetched it up ! I'm still learning things on this site; like one of my Maltese coins that I found what it was. Does not have a pic on here - could I upload my own ?
 Yes - as it happens I am looking at that Topic now also. Need a picture of the other side as well. I found three pages of 1 grano coins, and there are many varieties. A closer-up picture the better.
  I can not make out much of the lettering - is it ...
SVB HOC SIGNO MILITAMVS   = Under this Sign We Fight
  or maybe
IN HOC SIGNO MILITAMVS
  and as you know the date is in the angles of the cross - like this 1726 coin ...

 Maybe I should have written on that Topic instead, but here will do I guess.  :D

Haha ! I will take a look tomorrow - the reverse is pretty well worn :(

In this coin, the letters "imitate" Byzantine letters. That's why they are a little bit strange.
