BillSnyder Pillar of the Community 778 Posts	Posted 05/25/2016 5:46 pm Can anyone identify this thin, undated, non-magnetic, 19mm piece? It belongs to a friend, who feels that it may be an English token or jeton. (I'm not sure if it is copper or silver).

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 05/26/2016 12:35 am I haven't looked into it, but my initial thought is that is a crude, possibly contemporary, counterfeit of a George II issue (shilling?). Report this Post to the Staff
Potsdam Valued Member Germany 303 Posts	Posted 05/26/2016 02:01 am I'd also say it is a Rechenpfennig. Not sure if this was produced in Nuremberg though. Report this Post to the Staff

BillSnyder Pillar of the Community 778 Posts	Posted 05/26/2016 6:54 pm Following Potsdam's suggest, we found a Nuremberg jeton on ebay that looks an awful lot like my friend's. http://www.ebay.com/itm/67702-Jeton...AOSwVFlUAEts Thanks for the lead.
