Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 12/19/2014 4:17 pm It could be a coin from Ferdinand III based on what is legible of the legend and the portrait. With the right lighting more of the inscription should be clearly legible, so please try to make a couple more pictures of each side and one might be able to piece the whole legend together and tell you exactly what it is. Also state diameter and weight. Report this Post to the Staff
