I don't know where your coin came from but you could try to find a world coins reference guide at the local library.

Well Iraq and Saudi Arabia use palm trees on their coins. I am more inclined to say it is from Iraq but the avacado and large leaves have me stumped. They must be something else. In order to figure it out I need a good scan or photo. On most world coins, I have books from 1600-2000 AD. I have spent a couple of hours on this, but I finally have to give up due to lack of info.

Without a picture it is too hard to know.
But it may be from Algeria, Israel, or Iraq.
If you post a picture online I'll gladly identify it for you here...

i think mt history teacher was talking about it. i think it was called the Ramada-econ coin, or some fancy word.
