Hi,
Does anybody recognize this coin?
I can't find any information about it. On one side there is short text GIR (GER?, 6IR?) and date 16? (1653?).

Welcome everybody!

Thanks for help, I followed the trace with Frigia coins and I found the coin here:
https://coinscatalog.net/netherland...pecification
This is the only place where is photo of this coin. So I'm 99% sure it's the same coin.

these are a great little piece of history - they are official copies.
This one copies roughly the duit issued by Frisia,
Reckheim made underweight coppers very similar to the official issues, then put them into circulation and kept the resulting profits for themselves.
