Comments

Spy openable version. In the Hungarian war of independence, some of the 2 Kreuzer coins were manufactured in a way, that messengers could carry tiny documents hidden within the inside of the coin. The coin can be unscrewed carefully and a document can be placed inside, then hidden among the other coins, messengers could pass military and police checkpoints.
