gowittylb New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/24/2014 6:41 pm I had no luck on Google either. Did a lot of searching. The suggestion that it's a German 1/84th gulden sounds promising, but the letters "TO" on the other side look like English, unless the are abbreviations for something in German.

Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 04/24/2014 7:08 pm It is from the territories controlled by the Teutonic Order, the Latin equivalent of which is presumably what "TO" stands for. 1/84 gulden is correct. Do a Google image search for Teutonic order 1/84 gulden and you'll find several coins that look like this, though with different dates. Coins from this state smaller than 1/4 thaler are not listed in my 4th edition Krause catalogue, but they are listed on the NGC database. Krause lists it as made of copper, but all the pictures on Google Images are silvery-brown in colour so I suspect it is actually made of billon (debased silver), as many German States coins were. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
