tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7955 Posts	Posted 02/28/2019 9:32 pm It might be Spanish Netherlands, 17th century. Just need to find the exact coin now (maybe a duit?) Edit: Here are two copper coins from the reign of Albert and Isabelle (Spanish Netherlands) with this coat of arms, but not the same reverse. Knowing the diameter and mass of the coin might help get the denomination. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces104907.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces135392.html Edited by tdziemia 02/28/2019 10:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
po_bob Valued Member United States 63 Posts	Posted 03/01/2019 05:46 am You guys are amazing. Thank you. The coin is about 16mm in diameter, and is quite light - no more than a gram or two (I have no good scales). Report this Post to the Staff
