    This coin seems to be german or swiss but I can not identify exactly. It weights 1.6 gr and its diammeter is 24 mm aprox.

    Three days and no replies. You got us stumped. Where's IAN when you need him? I can make out the MONET at the bottom to the left, from 6 o'clock to 10 o'clock. Moneta -- money (of) -- is standard on medieval coins. However, I cannot make out the name of the the place ... It is kind of hard to turn the computer upside down and catch the light on the inscription... :)

    Hi mmarota,

    Finally, I have had an answer to my question ... in a german numismatic forum. My coin is a kreuzer or groschen from Austria of Friedrich III (1440-1493) .
    Legend says MONET NOVA NOVE CIVIT (3 arms side - Austria, Carinthya & Styria) and the other side FRIDRICVS ROMAN IMP (double eagle side) .. that's what my german partner has gentlely informed me.... a


    As you see, you were in the correct way .
    Thanks for your interest.

    Aidab
