Si68 New Member United Kingdom 1 Posts	Posted 10/03/2011 7:52 pm I am trying to sell a clipped hammered coin on ebay currently but need a decent identification. I believe it is French as it has a shield with 3 fleur de lis in it and a crown on top. To the right of the shield is the letter H. If you put the shield the right way up the legend appears to start ''FRAN'', the rest of the letters are clipped off until it almost reaches the start again with SCI.DG: If you turn the coin around keeping the shield the right way up, there is a short cross that reaches the start of the legend and each end of the cross opens with a v-shape, and the legend starts ''BENEDI'' and again is almost missing until you come to the start again with DNI: With the cross making 4 quarters, there is a crown in each quarter. Any suggestions? Report this Post to the Staff
