    Any hints about these 2 items? Both are silver and about the same size of a US quarter.
    Apparently, one has the "Fleur du lis" counterstamped, but very weak details (I assume is French); the other one I believe is from eastern Europe?
    Any input would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks! :)

    Thanks DCH!
    Do you identify it by the lion and the cross?

    Armenian coins use a unique alphabet. Makes it easy to id the country, but hard to read the legends.
