Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 10/20/2019 7:48 pm @arby, I can find a discussion over on numista of a similar piece: https://fr.numista.com/forum/topic80057.html Looks like it might be a mid-19th Century token having to do with Napoleon I's death, transportation of crematory remains, or final burial. Also, here is a comptoir des monaies link with the attachment tang still intact. You can see clearly on yours where this has been removed and the metal smoothed down. http://www.comptoir-des-monnaies.co...lle-p-400938 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
