This coin was bought in ebay about 5-7 years ago, it costs me US110.00.

The seller is from a country of Baltic Sea, I don't remember the country name. He said the coin was found underground and he discovered it by a metal detector. The coin looks so crude and I have no idea it is real or not. I had sent this coin to a very experienced ebay seller in US a few years ago, he still couldn't rule out it is fake but he did not coinfirm it is genuine.

The coin is very rare as I can't see another coin from ebay till now. The portrait is the famous monarch of Prussia, nicknamed "Soldier King". What do you think about this coin? Did I make a good or bad deal?

The coin is 24.4-24.6 mm in diameter and weighs 3.27 grams.

Thank you so much for your opinions.

Henry

Another point of this thread: the two eagles on the shields facing to each other. The eagle at the right-handed side with the head facing left should be the Prussian eagle but what does it represent for the left-handed eagle?
