HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25369 Posts	Posted 12/03/2024 5:30 pm My apologies if this topic is a repeat. I opened an image with Microsoft Photos and noticed a small icon at the bottom of the window. Clicking on the icon opens Bing Image Search. While not nearly as powerful as Google Lens, I imagine that one day it will catch up. And it's more convenient than opening the Google search page and drag/drop the image in the search bar. In case you were wondering what that medal is, it's a M. Jesurum & Co. Paris Exposition 1889 souvenir. And no, Bing found no matches. But I knew what it is.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25369 Posts	Posted 12/03/2024 10:30 pm Bing is pretty weak - for now. I used Google Lens to identify this tiny (16mm) coin, while Bing was clueless.

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 12/03/2024 11:31 pm I really like that 1889 coin Hondo - totally unique obverse I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25369 Posts	Posted 12/03/2024 11:56 pm Thank you, DOCC! That's why I bought this medal - the "Lion of St. Mark" is quite fascinating. However, Jesurum swiped this image from an earlier Venetian coin - a 1 Osella coin minted by Alvise Mocenigo IV in 1774. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces96632.html Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
