bogdanjovi Valued Member Romania 86 Posts	Posted 11/25/2016 03:18 am Please help e with an identification of a token about 28 mm diameter, 1.5 mm thickness, some kind of brass alloy. Flan is irregularly bend, but after minting. Around the angel is written (JUS)TITIA ET VERITAS (law and truth). Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 11/25/2016 06:44 am Interesting piece. I'm not having much luck finding a match for you. The angel appears to be holding a sword and the scales, which would go along nicely with the inscription "Justice and Truth". I'm not sure what the different shields mean on the reverse in the quarters between the arms of the floriated cross. I'm hopeful that someone else here on CCF can get this identification further along. I would note one thing: in the inscription, Justice is more likely spelled "IVSTICIA" or perhaps "JUSTICIA" on your token.

antwerpen2306 Pillar of the Community Belgium 1194 Posts	Posted 11/25/2016 11:38 am on the obverse , there is a classical representation of justice, the reverse with the shields makes me thinking at 17th century coins of the Low Countries while the hand , the hand of God ? , is the same as I saw a few weeks ago on German medieval coins , but this image has been used by many cities .So I think it is German 17th century . There is also a problem with the orthografy of Iusticia,as Spence remarked.albert Report this Post to the Staff
