echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/09/2007 10:21 pm I have searched several archives but have not been able to ID this coin. Not much to go on condition wise, but if anyone has any information on this coin I would appreciate it. Copper 25mm 2.9 grams Thanks, Ron Image: unk1a1.jpg 73.39 KB Image: unk1b1.jpg 62.54 KB Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16872 Posts	Posted 01/10/2007 04:03 am Wow, that's a worn one. No hard information for you, but a couple of guesses. My first instinct when I saw it was "Spanish", but I'm not sure there's much Spanish copper with a design close enough to that. Only other option there is the emergency coins issued by Royalist holdouts in Latin America; some of those look a bit crude. Supporting evidence: the monogram-thingy in the top picture might be a "7", with the "F" for Ferdinand. Second guess: somewhere in Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark). Supporting evidence: they sure liked using curly intertwined monograms there on their coins. Also, if the bottom pic is upside down, then maybe I can make out three crowns - a standard badge of Sweden. 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
