[QUOTE="PaddyB, post: 1754248, member: 40017"]Hi SecTPB - sorry for the delay in responding - I saw your pics first thing this morning but I have been out all day. Having said that, I am not sure how much help I can be: 1. Definitely is Netherlands in design, but I am struggling to find any combination of 6 Stuiver with a split lion shield and a knight reverse - most have a sailing ship reverse. Also yours looks brassy, and I would expect silver? Could it be a contemporary forgery of some sort? If the second half of the shield emblem is a second lion, that would suggest West Friesland province. I have the books only back to 1601 so I am not sure if this design might be earlier? 2. Looks more like a pendant from the Arts and Crafts movement - around 1890 to 1910. It has a hand made look about it, and the Celtic knot was a popular design. I can't work out much of the reverse - the zigzag pattern may relate to one of the schools of this movement. 3. Looks firmly Indian to me, but again not a regular coin - might be a temple token as the reverse seems to relate to some sort of offering. If you can find someone to read the obverse writing you would be closer. That's the best I can do![/QUOTE]
