Came with a job lot of old German States coins so I assume it is of German origin but cannot be sure. Weight is 0.53 grams, diameter is 17mm. Report this Post to the Staff

The reverse seems to be the 'blessing hand' of whichever Archbishop of the time. I'm searching now to find one with the same reverse as this. Report this Post to the Staff
