The previous owner labeled the 2x2 as 1721 Germany 3 Kreuzer. I've tried some searches but not seeing anything. This is in very rough shape. It only weighs .95 grams and is nonmagnetic. The diameter is .780". It is only about .025" thick. Appears as if crazy erosion has occurred. A few things I can read with my loupe: LAND 17321 GROS (then it is broken) Maybe two lions or dragons? on that same side On the opposite side it appears to read "MAXEMA" I appreciate any thoughts. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

That chipped edge is a bummer, but jsut one of the aspects of dealing with old, thin silver coins. The hole though looks to me like it might be the result of this coin having been hung on a wall via nailing with an old square nail. Again, not ideal, but it does give this piece some interesting character.
