oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5245 Posts	Posted 03/24/2017 07:55 am Another unknown coin with very little to go on. It weighs 4.6 grams and the diameter is about 23 millimeters. The date 1617 is quite clear, and it is divided by what looks like a cornucopia. To the right of the cornucopia I can read D G REX The other side has a few letters but I cannot make them out. I am not sure what the object on this side is. Possibly it is a crown. I cannot be sure if it is the correct side up. Any help is much obliged. Report this Post to the Staff
