steve123 Pillar of the Community Canada 805 Posts	Posted 05/16/2013 9:16 pm Hi, I'm not sure of the composition of this coin, maybe silver? When it is soaked in DW, it leaves a white ring around where the coin has been sitting. One side looks like an animal, maybe a deer/horse? Sorry this is a scan, batteries dead in camera. weight 1.4 grams, dia 13-14mm Thanks, Steve Report this Post to the Staff
