This was in an area where French and Germans had been traveling back in the 1700. Not sure what kind of coin it is and it is more than a little difficult to make out what it is. Any ideas? Also ideas on how to clean without damaging? Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 09/30/2012 08:03 am On the presumption that it's a copper coin around 19mm in diameter, I think it would be a low denomination; probably a duit, 1/4 stuber, 1 pfennig or similar. What does the word above the date say ? Report this Post to the Staff
