norantyki Valued Member 404 Posts	Posted 12/29/2020 4:40 pm Second photo lends itself to Liege Bishopric Gros or the like, but would need weight and diameter to be certain. Either way, owing to style and arms, we are looking at a low-countries silver from the 15-17th centuries. Edited by norantyki 12/29/2020 4:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7936 Posts	Posted 12/29/2020 8:53 pm As @norantyki says, from the Burgundian cross obverse and arms reverse, we are likely looking at Spanish Netherlands, reign of Albert and Elizabeth, pre-dating, so early 1600s,patagon or fraction thereof, like this: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces62473.html Knowing at least the diameter would be most helpful to confirm Edited by tdziemia 12/29/2020 8:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 12/29/2020 9:12 pm I agree with @norantyki that Spanish Netherlands is the most likely source of this coin. It might be an early 17th Century 1/4 Patagon, but having the weight and diameter would help confirm. Here is a link to the numista page to get you started: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces62473.html Added: nice work there @tdz. Looks like we were thinking alike, but you got there a little before me.
