    This is a coin I got from my grandpa today. He told me that he found it in a P.O.W. camp in Germany after WWII, and he also said he believes it is pure silver. I don't know anything about it other than MDCCLXXII which I'm 99% sure is the date in Roman numerals and is 1772. Can anyone help me find out some more info on it??
    Thanks
