Hi again,

In the group of lot of crude coins, I found this one below. Reading inscriptions on these types is not my skill. There is a small hole also on top.

Thank you.

It could be a replica from Tallin based on the hole. I spotted so.e online but clean.

Yes, Livonian Order. And specifically this coin: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces451734.html

What is the size and weight of your coin? I would not have thought to consider a replica because the details are pretty good, but looking more closely, maybe yes.

I agree that it looks like a modern reproduction; perhaps made from zinc? I'll be interested to hear the weight, and if you can, specific gravity. Thx.

I also thought that surface oxidation pattern looked like zinc, but never heard of zinc replicas (or would it have been silver plated?). I guess I don;t get around much

Here is the link to the replica examples. It looks brass like under the oxidization. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...a156067.html
