[/I] When you keep that in mind, and look at a coin a found in 2017 in the Netherlands. There must be a connection in what you wrote. There is on one side an (israelic) Cross or a Cross with crosslets. On the other side there are geomatric designs and degenerated legends. I hope you reply on my suggestion.
