matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 12/26/2013 2:42 pm The first coin is, I believe, French. 'ROI DE' is 'king of.' '....CAIS' is French. [FRANCAIS] [king of the French] My best guess. WAIT! Could it be this? Source: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces8206.html Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16877 Posts	Posted 12/26/2013 6:52 pm Correct on both counts, it seems. The only thing needed to be added is the French coin has been turned into a "love token": the usual reverse design has been ground down and erased, with a new design carved into the blank side. It was then turned into a brooch by having a pin and catch soldered onto the obverse. 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
