Jay1234 Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 04/13/2019 4:09 pm I think this is some type of old Dutch coin. It's 21mm and 2.2g. There is a lion on the front and the back appears to say ZVTP MARTEN SIS. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 04/13/2019 4:16 pm Looks like a Duit from the Dutch Republic of Zutphen (1604-1605 AD). By the way, the rev inscription should be: ZVTP HANIEN SIS.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 04/13/2019 7:46 pm @jay1234, no prob. By the way, if you are not already using numista, you should be. To find your coin, I used the search terms LION and SIS (the only part of the legend that made sense to me). I hit pay dirt on the second coin shown.
