[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 8115485, member: 102103"]Is it copper? Medieval coins are usually silver. I have a good handful of 1600-1700 Naples coppers, and the ones with the cross are usually more squared off. I'm still thinking France, though there are other countries which used the Fleur-de-Lys, as you concluded. Naples Filippo IV 1622-1624 Grano [ATTACH=full]1412380[/ATTACH] Naples, Felipe II, 3 Cavalli 1568-1599 copy [ATTACH=full]1412379[/ATTACH] French regional coinage can also have the Fleur-de-Lys, such as this: Sedan Double Tournois 1634-38 [ATTACH=full]1412385[/ATTACH] Sorry for the low quality--I collect from junk bins mostly. Anyway, if you don't mind confirming weight/diameter/composition I'd be happy to look around. Having some edge text is great, so you can probably get a positive ID eventually.[/QUOTE]
