vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 07/05/2014 05:19 am I think it is some kind of token. For the poor people in like 15th / 16th century. To pay as some kind of money. But not normal used issues. It looks like lead. And the marks donÂ´t appear to be some kind of seal for clothes aswell. Report this Post to the Staff

vince1977 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 847 Posts	Posted 07/05/2014 06:54 am I think it looks more like this. Because of the material. This is an dutch site but these kind of coins/tokens were for poor people. The ones of petrus are not lead coins/tokens but bronze. If I'm correctly. http://www.loodjes.nl/armen/Armenloodjes.html Report this Post to the Staff
