Pig counter stamp...

Now that I figured out all the ins and outs of the new version of the photo editor I'm in business. Too bad this is a crappy image but I'm not home where I can change it.

1949 LWC with Masonic Symbol counter stamped in repousse...

This coin was gifted by Hondo. Many thanks. Sorry it took so long to get this posted. . Was about to remove it from the 2 by 2 when I thought that the writing on it may be as cool as the coin itself. I checked on Google Translate and discovered that loge maconnique is Masonic Lodge in French. One thing I was hoping that you guys could help me with was the rest of the writing on it. Especially the (what appears to be) 100 with a lower case L as the monetary symbol. Could it be 100 lira? Which doesn't make any sense. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Chafemasterj, it came from Spain, so that might be a Euro sign € but it wasn't 100 € - more like 1!

Unique Masonic counter stamp on reverse of a LMC. Now that I look at it closer I see the G is upside down in between the compass and square. So unlike all other Masonic counter stamps I've seen I think the square goes on top.

Now that I really really look at it I see that the engraver of the stamp made the G backwards. Oh man. How frustrating that must have been after all that work. I mirrored the image to show the error.
