Can you post a pic ? I'm not sure of its face value, but it is copper and is slightly smaller than a Kennedy half. The words on the back aren;t readable, but the design on the back is a large + shape, somewhat ornate, and in the bottomleft and topright lions, and in the bottomright and topleft are what appears to be castles (more of the shape of a Rook in chess) Also i can make out the mint mark --> B M (b on the left side of the head, the M on the right side) Last edited by Cojaro; 07-14-2005 at 03:00 AM.

The mintmark would be below the 'cross'. It's listed as C-170 in my Standard Catalog of World Coins (try a library). __________________ World Coin & Currency Collector since 1969 My Coin Info Pages   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
