I've found a lot of cool stuff in the last month but this is right up there. I'm dying that it is holed because it is such a cool piece and its in incredible shape. The Crowned Lion with whiskers, teeth, and clawed feet not to mention the poodle like tail is one of the most animated Lions I have ever seen on a coin though I am far from an expert. Would love to have any details on this piece.
This is what I dug up:"1747 Dutch medal commemorating the unification of the Dutch provinces under one stadtholder - Prince William of Orange and Nassau.
