1960 20 APX coin?
I have one of these too. I believe it is greek as I recognize the letters omega and sigma in the writing and the porpoise just seems greek to me. Also the A in apx is actually a triangle which is Delta in the greek alphabet. P is Pi and X is chi. Of course, "it's all greek to me" I only know what I had to learn to join the frat. However, for all I know there are other countries around the region that use greek or greek looking letters. Update: it is a greek 20 drachma coin. It is 83% silver and worth approx. 17 euros in uncirculated condition according to http://www.fleur-de-coin.com/shop/showcart.asp?id=drs46 which has a photo of the coin too
