I was hoping someone could help me with this coin. Based on the obverse, I thought it was a 3 Kreuzer from Bohemia. Also, it has (G E) at the base of the reverse, which would seem to be this coin: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces43302.html However, according to the catalog, they were not issued past 1709. On the reverse, the date above the double eagle looks like 1720 to me.... I have not been able to find any examples of this coin online anywhere, and don't have any paper catalogs that include coins of this age. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!   |

Maybe not a coin of Bohemia.
Other authorities that issued Kreuzer denominations in the 1700's:
Alsace, Augsburg, Austria, Austrian States, Belgium, German States (many), Poland, Romania, Swiss Canons and Transylvania.

Yes, but I am not able to find any coins with a denomination of 3 featuring Leopold that are dated 1720, regardless of country/authority.

@jer, first welcome to CCF. Second, going on the assumption that this is real, one possibility is that it is an error date, for example of 1702. Can you please post the weight and diameter of this coin to the thread? Thx.

@Spence Thanks for the welcome!
Update: mystery solved! Found a listing in KM 7th Edition 1701-1800, page 67 for a 1720 error variety for 1702. Luckily that edition is available to view on archive.org.
