Hi. I'm new here-- I just registered last week because I inherited a bunch of coins from a cousin and I need help identifying some of them (and later when I find out what I have I might like to try to sell some, but not to a dealer for scrap metal / melt, but to another individual who would like to add these to their private collection.) This coin looks to be about 200 years old and I use the CoinSnap app on it three times and I got three different identifications none of which were accurate because I compared the photos of the sample coin for those three different IDs to my coin and none of them are correct-- not a perfect match but some are close. I don't recognize any of the writing on this coin as to letters or numbers. I don't know the country of origin, the denomination, or the date. Help, please.
My first gut instinct, based on the look of the coin and the fact that the letters don't seem to be letters or make much sense, that this is an early Dutch counter token. The bundle of arrows is a common device used in early Dutch coinage, but @Chris B might be onto something, because there was such a a thing as the Spanish Netherlands. Chris, does the coat of arms have Spanish air about it? See my attached photos. The bundle of arrows dates back a few centuries before my coin was minted.
It seems to be a tin advertising token, part of a set. Produced 1971-2 by Theraplix laboratories as promotion of hypertension medication. Resembling an early Spanish real. Referred to in Change of the month dated July 2009. Page is in French.
It looks like a modern imitation of a coin of Spain under Ferdinand and Isabella. Here is one like it: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/exonumia150707.html
