Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 08/21/2016 4:56 pm @albert, I'm thinking it is a dolphin as opposed to a fish. You are right that better pics would make the determination easier. @sherry, my best guess is a jeton of the French Province of Dauphin. Here is an example that you can compare against yours: https://finds.org.uk/database/artef...rd/id/471113 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 08/21/2016 6:45 pm Yes, I know Dauphin and that is what I was steering the OP towards- I guess I didn't say it very well, but "fish" is listed in Roberts. I recently had some similar items come across my desk and found them in Roberts. Report this Post to the Staff
