epikur Pillar of the Community Sweden 729 Posts	Posted 03/18/2018 4:28 pm Found this coin online and got curious regarding the counterstamp. Looks like a shield of armor with a horse rider in it...The stamps on the other side suggest that the shield stamp was there before the asian symbol stamps got there, suggesting the shield stamp is at least as old as the other stamps. Has onyone sen a stamp like this, and what/who made them? Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 04/03/2018 9:55 pm I recognize the impression as the Agnus Dei the symbol of Jesus Christ. The lamb looks backward over his shoulder and holds a banner in his foreleg. It is an old symbol of the Church. As such it is unlikely to have a monetary implication. Perhaps they were awards. Who knows. Report this Post to the Staff
