Thread: would you please help me understand the value or the importance of this coin.

The engraving reads: "Калуга. Государственный музей истории космонавтики им. К.Э. Циолковского" - "Kaluga. The Konstantin E. Tsiolkovsky State Museum of the History of Cosmonautics". Kaluga is a town. It's definitely not a real coin. It's a souvenir from the museum. It still can have some value among collectors. I had to mirror the picture to read the engraving. If it is actually flipped over the coin can be a rarity.

He just made a picture if the reflection in the mirror
I don't think it costs a lot and I also think that it might be a fake. Hard to tell from these pictures

and the coin is flipped over but i used my webcam to take the pictures. (mirrored for Skype )

It doesn't look like fake. and it dates back to the 80's so USSR was still there.

i forgot to mention that this happened during the 1980's. that's when my father worked in kuweit. it might be a souvenir from the museum as you said.
