Dug this up at a tot lot today. Cleaned it up. My wife thinks its Israeli and believes its Hebrew on the coin. However, after searching the internet I can't find a match for it as being from Israel. I believe some of the writing matches Hebrew that I saw on some other coins. Anybody know for sure?

Sorry Felix. It doesn't look like Hebrew to me.

Rudy - thanks - I can't place the architecture of the building on the one side. That would definitely help.

That coin is from Thailand, 1 Baht. Can't really tell the exact year year but between 1986 - 1997.

I've seen one of these before.

Actually I got one out of a roll of coins from the bank. Now that people have automatic coin rollers you find all sorts of weird coins in rolls now and then.

It is from Thailand. If you do a google image search you will find this coin in one of the pictures on the first page. As to the value, I have no idea.

Voriax / Blaze/ Rudy  THANKS!   Mystery solved!!!   The coin came from an open, sanded, x-tot lot area that is very trashy.  What it was doing in a Miami tot lot is just one of those interesting aspects about MDing.
