svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 01/20/2012 11:10 pm Hi sharla, welcome to the community! The double cross under a crown design reminds me of Danzig coins. At this point I can't find a match. The size of it could be helpful. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/21/2012 12:06 am I see a double bar cross within shield on the obverse, and a lion or leopard rampant on the reverse. Perhaps Swedish? Report this Post to the Staff

colonialjohn Pillar of the Community United States 1757 Posts	Posted 01/22/2012 12:13 pm Possibly? - http://www.fortresscatalogue.com/in...+1603PL00400 Its REAL close. My memory tells me this may be the first recorded example of this type in the Colonies - if this match is 100%. The example looks brass or bronze however and not silver? Will inquire. > > Not a match, but very close to a Denare coin from the City of Fraustadt > in Poland used from 1602 to 1607. The example in Krause is silver and > smaller than a nickle. > >Is it brass/bronze or silver? Can yopu tell? Picture looks like copper alloy not silver?
