Does anyone have any idea what it could be? Thank you in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

Virghil New Member Romania 10 Posts	Posted 08/10/2017 3:51 pm I thought it could be Dutch 24 stuiver but found nothing like this on coinarchives :-( Report this Post to the Staff

Perhaps you can send the pictures to: http://www.bonatiele.nl/FILWEL/welcome.html If you like I can post the pictures here on Zeno, but then I need to know the weight and dimensions. https://www.zeno.ru Perhaps the 2 and the S are not part of the denomination. Closer look gives me the feeling it is 1/4 see this coin: This is a coin from Ceylon (Sri Lanka), struck in Galle (Netherlands) Edited by Petrus 08/10/2017 4:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Virghil New Member Romania 10 Posts	Posted 08/11/2017 1:25 pm Coin weighs 4,8 grams and is about 2cm in diameter. I think the "2 S" looks very similar in style to the ceylon coin you posted. A friend said this looks like a revolutionary coin, so I googled and found this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gre...n_of_1817-18 , don t know if this could be related. I would be very grateful if you could post on the Russian forum, I am out of town and my internet signal is garbage. I will send the pictures to bonatiele, thank you so much for your help.

Virghil New Member Romania 10 Posts	Posted 08/14/2017 08:05 am Arie from bonatiele.nl was extremely helpful. "This object is a lead token (in this case "loodje" in Dutch) and possibly used in relation with ships. Several of these tokens are found in shipwrecks in The Netherlands. The exact use of it is unknown however. They appear with several values, yours is of the highest known value: 24 stuivers." http://www.loodjes.nl/CZM.html Thank you again for your help, Petrus!
