<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 2023255, member: 72790"]Thank you very much. I have seen that site which deals mostly with her Thalers but under the sub category of medals it does picture a coin/medal quite similar to mine. However that coin/ metal is listed as having a "grooved edge" mine is smooth, no reeding or lettering. Its gold content is listed as nine carat which may be similar to mine. I cannot tell from its appearance but with a few minor nicks on the flan it does not appear to be gold plated. It seems more like worn coin gold and there is some wear on it. Like my coin, the coin/medal shown is a bust left . Its weight is listed as 3.65 grams which is heavier than mine at 1.5 grams. The site says that its origin is unknown. But again, this is the only coin I have seen with her image as bust left. The lettering is quite sharp for a coin this size so I don't think it is a "barbarous" cast or strike. Thanks again and if you dig up something else please let me know and I apologize for not posting a photo. I can field strip an '03 Springfield but computer technology is beyond me. Oh, I forgot. The one pictured has no date. Mine has the date 17 62 the numbers being split by part of the reverse image.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
