colonial?
« on: December 02, 2007, 12:45:06 am »
An interesting and unusual coin for me... On the obverse; the Sun, the Crescent and seven five pointed stars; astronomical figures. On the reverse, a Latin word but i can' t read, and something like a ship (maybe).

Thank you very much for any comments..

Hi Iaculator!

I think it is not a coin but a Rechenpfennig (counting token). It reminds me on that one posted some days before https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=41800.msg263368#msg263368
It is not the same one but looking more closely on the rev.(?) wih the ship I think I can recognize the legend PLVS VLTRA too.

Best regards
