echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/07/2016 6:29 pm I known I've seen this type before but I just can't put my finger. My thinking was a Crusader type coin. Could really use help to ID this one. Uniface Lead 23mm x 8.2g Looks like a stylized figure of a person of star. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Moved from the ancient coin section, while not a coin per say this token was only used in the UK during the 17th-18th centuries-echizento Report this Post to the Staff

Somewhat similar here: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces82277.html And here: http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/sh...token&cat=88 http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/sh...token&cat=88 http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/sh...token&cat=88 http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/sh...token&cat=88 https://finds.org.uk/database/artef...rd/id/288118 Edited by Kamnaskires 10/07/2016 7:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/07/2016 7:35 pm Bob I knew I could count on you. The piece looks very similar to the links you posted, the only differences is that mine has five petals and the others have six, and mine is a bit more heavy. It also make sense that it is from the UK, I received this along with some other coins from a friend and member in England. These appear to have a long period of use from the 1500-1700, it might be a stretch but maybe it's an earlier one so for the time being I leave it here. Thanks buddy I appreciate your help.

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 10/07/2016 7:41 pm I've edited my original post and think I included some links to tokens with different numbers of pedals now (not just six). Here's one that, although not uniface, has four pedals and what seems to be a stem...perhaps the single line on yours is a stem too?: http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/sh...token&cat=88 Report this Post to the Staff
