One turned up on the metal detecting forum here not long ago, from a different time and place, and of a different design. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodality_of_Our_Lady https://goccf.com/t/150690 Edited by philadelphian 06/05/2013 09:08 am Report this Post to the Staff

Nonetheless, you should feel good to posses something like that. A coin generally has a mint mark, the year of minting and the legend that tells us what nation minted it, and what the denomination is (among other things). Report this Post to the Staff
