Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 11/12/2016 11:55 pm The KM# 115 suggested above has a plain edge, which would make me think it is a different coin. That one, along with this one, and this one all look practically the same, with the last two having milled edges. I would think it is more likely the latter one due to how long the curved lie below the three diamonds on the reverse is. That one is, however, 18 millimetres, but it is also the largest one.
