canary01 Valued Member Netherlands 204 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 11:37 am Hello, I have several questions about this piece. At first I have no clue what it is (a coin or token or where it is from). Second I was wondering what the reverse is, is it something that someone engraved or is it a minting error? Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 04/27/2016 12:06 pm "BERGISCHE LANDMUNZ" legend -> Jülich-Berg (in Germany) -> MJ monogram for Maximilian Joseph, its last ruler (1799-1806). The capital of this German state was the well-known city of Düsseldorf. Edited by DL20K 04/27/2016 12:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

RogerRamjet Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 04/28/2016 12:16 am I think alganbagerap is right about this one. For those like me who are wondering what a brockage is, there's a good description here... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brockage . How interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
