oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5253 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 5:45 pm Given that there is no inscription or shield/ portrait, I would be inclined to think that it is a jeton (counting token). Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 02/26/2016 5:55 pm It isn't actually a coin. It is a very early English jeton (probably 1300s-1400s), intended to resemble a mediaeval hammered silver penny (the collection of pellets in the quadrants of the cross indicate this), yet different enough in design that an unscrupulous person couldn't silver-wash it and try to pass it as a genuine silver coin. They usually have a coin-like facing portrait on the obverse; yours has the same design on both sides. Examples of similar jetons can be seen here, here and here. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 03/02/2016 09:52 am Thanks Sap, I have the same token:jeton. What wonders me is that both sides are the same. The penny replica's do not. 22,4 mm Report this Post to the Staff
dohcollector Valued Member Belgium 464 Posts	Posted 03/03/2016 06:55 am hey Petrus it is indeed the same jeton/coin so what is your opinion on it? Report this Post to the Staff
Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 03/03/2016 5:53 pm I have no idea what it can be, but is surely some kind of replica/jeton There are some other coins that used the dots on their coins Report this Post to the Staff
