I'm posting it here as I'm thinking it's pre-1600, but I could be mistaken in that assessment. The cross reminds me of Spanish issues. I just can't get enough of a handle on the legends to pin this down. Roughly 26.5 mm in diameter. Pretty thin flan, so the weight is only 3.2 grams.

samoth Valued Member United States 216 Posts	Posted 12/22/2022 9:16 pm I'd guess this is a jeton, like the other you recently posted. There's a site for Dugniolle with a legends search http://www.dugniolle.com/search-dugniolle.html), but the reference is limited to the low countries. I don't recognize the designs of the item in question, and nothing in them stands out that would point to a time or place. I'd guess that the gothic lettering limits the date range to before the 17th century, but that's all I can see to go off of. Report this Post to the Staff
