On one side, the central L B flanking a rosette is prominent. I can read a partial inscriotion: CROC....ICH or so it seems. On the other side there is a shield and I can't quite make out any letters.

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5258 Posts	Posted 11/01/2020 7:32 pm Thanks, @CAM68. Looking at some, that seems highly probable. There are 20,000 types of them! So I will definitely need a catalogue. Report this Post to the Staff
