<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 26956, member: 283&quot;]Hi Doug,</p><p><br /></p><p>The piece in the scans sports the Arms of the Dukes of Burgundy, in this case Charles the Bold (1467-1477).</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the piece in question, the cross fleury on the obverse should have a distinct fleur de lis at the centre. Your one looks a bit like a squiggle of some kind. that and a couple of other things makes me inclined to think that it is a counterfeit, perhaps a contemporary one I don&#039;t know and there is only so much you can tell from a scan.</p><p><br /></p><p>If genuine it&#039;s a Double Gros, was issued by Charles the Bold of Burgundy for Flanders. It should measure approx. 28mm across the diameter give or take a mm for the filing down it&#039;s probably had. It should also be silver. Yours looks a little too coppery to me if i&#039;m to be perfectly honest.</p><p><br /></p><p>How did you come across this?</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
