Montgomery Valued Member Canada 436 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:58 am Hi, I got this one a few weeks ago and I have some difficulties to put an ID on it. It's very small with 16.03 mm in diameter and weight 1,17gr. Looks struck twice? Thanks for your help! Identified and moved to World Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 27504 Posts	Posted Yesterday 12:26 pm I have a very similar coin which is also double-struck. Look at the John II Casimir Vasaones KM #110 coins from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth: https://en.numista.com/119300. There are several with this KM #, but this should help.

Sap Moderator Australia 17000 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:01 pm As this coin isn't "ancient or mediaeval", I'll be moving it tot he World Coins subforum. As for the doubling, given the apparent prevalence of it on this coin type, I would presume it to be a byproduct of the method of manufacture. Many European countries at this time period were striking coins using a "rocker press", a process not entirely unlike that used to make those souvenir elongated coins. In this process, the coin is rolled-over twice by the dies, back and forth; if the coin moves in between rolls, then it gets two impressions, thus "double-struck". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
