Hi. First post! I'm hoping someone can help identify this coin. On one side it says "Colonie Mon Civit" and is dated 1682. On the other side I think it says "LEOP D.G. and has some other letters.

It's a really nice looking coin IMHO and I bought it inexpensively just to have an old coin. I'm mostly a stacker of modern bullion, Morgan and Peace dollars and 90% US silver.

DCH,

Thank you! Do you think the coin was minted in 1682 (or possibly 1687) or do you think it is commemorating the date 1687 which I've been told was significant in the city's history?

1682. 'Z' was often used as a 2 and this coin was only minted until 1685.
