This is slightly smaller than a modern dime. I in fact found it in a bag of dimes that had been sold for scrapping to my local bullion buyer.

My best WAG is that it is German. Maybe from a Principality or Palentinate? But that is just it, a guess.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Joe

"TREVIRENSIS" is Latin for "Trier", which in pre-Napoleonic times was a prince-bishopric, one of the three ecclesiastical electorates of the Holy Roman Empire.
