Another good possibility with crude coins is Indian states. Some of them look like this even when they're relatively modern.
Short answer: No. Longer answer: It looks like a fleur de lis on one side. Maybe one of the French states? There was a time when parts of France...
Nice coins. I have all three of the coins you mentioned, though mine aren't graded. Definitely worthy of any collection.
Thanks for the info. I'm glad I noticed it. It's a small coin and I'm not in the habit of closely scrutinizing my coins so I could have easily...

I went on a bit of a buying spree this week after not really buying anything for a few months. Most of these are for my turtle collection, along...
1734 Netherlands East Indies 1 duit. [ATTACH]
I was looking at this and thinking the heraldry was interesting for Germany because I see the Irish harp and "Hib." which would be Hibernia, i.e.,...
