Can anyone tell me a little more about this coin? It sounds like silver, weighs 19.6g, and measures 39x2.25mm (1.535x.0935 in)

No, but I can google it. :) Here's one of several hits

And following up, the denomination is it's actual silver weight in those units:

Another link suggested there was a lot of counterfeiting of these. But if real, looks like it might have some numi value!

Thanks Camaro. I've been doing some web searches on it too, and I suspect I may have a fake. The girl next door gave it to me today, and she has three more that I'll have to check into as well.

Looks like a fake to me. The "C" and #2 and of course the weight!

Thanks TJCF. The coin is probably a fake, but its still interesting enough to put away for later.

Even better, the girl who gave it to me is excited about coins, 25ish, a tomboy, drop dead gorgeous, wants to come over and show me the proper way to cook a rack of ribs, and her roommate works in a coin processing room for a vending company. What more could you ask for in a coin buddy? :D
