iamchrisd Valued Member United Kingdom 61 Posts	Posted 09/20/2018 08:46 am Thank you for identifying the shield it will help me in the right direction. Its 29mm diameter and 6.3 grams. Also I have worked out now it says - 'ALGARBIORUM' Edited by iamchrisd 09/20/2018 09:33 am Report this Post to the Staff

(It was really the ALGARBIORUM that helped me - almost all the other types had some variety of PORTUGAL on the left side instead.) I think the lettering I see on the second pic is consistent with what is supposed to be there, so it's probably a match, I guess? Report this Post to the Staff
