courtney-m New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 3:45 pm Any clue on this one? Its "diameter" from one corner to the other is about that of a US quarter. I would assume the octagonal shape is not original and that the size has been reduced for some reason. A "16" (or perhaps "91") is clearly visible on one side and is part of the date, presumably. Adjacent to the "16" is a "fern leaf" or something. On the other side is a small shield-shape encircled by either other shields or perhaps "leaves". It's a brownish color but I think there's a good chance that it's silver. My vague impression is that its from France or Italy or Germany or what-have-you. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
