I have difficulties in identifying the following coin: it is silver or billon, has a diameter of 20 mm.
It looks like a albus from Hesse-Cassel, but I don't find a match for the monogram in Krause (I don't have a German catalog)
Obverse: crowned monogram
Reverse: lion with date 1720

Thanks for your help,
bart

You are correct, Hesse-Cassel 1 Albus, KM#364.

Krause notes varieties exist..apparently they chose one of the varieties(or the wrong coin) for the catalog. Schon pictures your coin.

Here's one on coinarchives http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotvi...388&Lot=2227
