    1733, 1/2 K on the Obverse
    1/2 on the reverse

    Looks a lot like several Austrian States coins, but I can't get it. Maybe not Austrian? I originally was going German.

    Thank you Adam. That might be it. What is this place in a modern Krause?

    Krause lists it under Switzerland-Unterwalden.
    My Swiss catalog lists it under Obwalden.

    Thanks, that's what I needed. Unterwalden is a Swiss canton comprised of two half cantons, Oberwalden and Nidwalden. This coin seems to have been made specifically for Obwalden. If I can tell correctly, the coin you referenced sold for 60 Euros! Wow, mine is way nicer than that thing. Believe it or not, I found this in a junk box!

    It's an Unterwalden Swiss Canton, very nice find indeed!
