From what I could search I think the coin is German. Other than that I have no idea. Good Luck.

Should be German according to Goggle search results.

Hello:
The language is Latin, the coin is Austrian.

This coin is in Jabberwocky. As I don't know this language, I can't help you. Maybe I have imbibed too much "Two Much Chuck" tonight. LOL

Thanks birgittaw, Yes the coin is Austrian with you help I was able to find some just like it listed on ebay. Interesting coin, they are pure gold but no as old as they are dated.

Yes, it's Austrian. What's the denomination. Probably a 10, 20 or 100. Not pure gold. It's 91.6% pure, 22 carat. And it is a restrike, meaning it's dated 1915, but has been made from 1915 until present time. Value is solely dependant on gold value. No coin value.

Hello Pointy, The crazy thing about this coin is that everyone that has them listed has a different story about the coin. Some of the shady dealers are trying to pawn them off as old coins dating back to 1915 others are saying they are re-strikes 24k gold.et et. Mine has a gold frame on it so it can be worn on a chain. I will try to sell mine as a piece or jewelry. If it sells fine if not it goes to my kid he likes to wear gold. Thanks for your help you are right on the money about this coin.

Just search to see who's getting the highest bid.
And follow in their foot steps.

I really don't want to mislead anyone so like I said I will try to sell it as a 22k piece of jewelry and say its a re-strike. If the coin is 24k so what. The difference between 22k and 24k is very little in value.
