Eligius Valued Member Netherlands 175 Posts	Posted 04/09/2024 3:48 pm Not a coin but a counter or jetton made in Germany in the 17th century. Not in good condition unfortunately so difficult to identify exactly. Probably like the specimen shown here: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...ia42705.html Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 04/09/2024 7:20 pm Yes, you can see part of the legend still: HANS ... IN NVRE (NURB?) This is maybe Hans Schultes (It could be Lauffer or Krauwinckel, of course, but on this jeton the maker's name is on the orb side, not the crown side) Other side legend is pretty far gone, you can only see maybe ..ND..GLA..

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 04/11/2024 07:53 am I could see WAL on the non-maker side across the D_GL text, and between that and Numista searching I think I've managed to ID the token! https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...a184931.html Numista gives the lettering (excluding interpuncts) as GLICK IST WALCZET VND and HANS SCHVLTES ZV NVREN; I do not see anything that contradicts either reading, but of course it could easily be a different spelling.
