Hi john,

Could it be an Italy, Desana coin?

Your coin looks similar to MIR (Varesi) 508/4. The letters are different (M vs. H), but the style is very similar.

ok thanks Meepzorp. Yes the style is similar, but i still have not located the exact same coin. My coin has crosses as the coin pictured below has the fleur-de-lys. I think i may have a rare coin.

Probably Principauté d'Orange. Frédéric Henri de Nassau

I think that the historical value of the coins we preserve is still much more worth than their market value (which is fluctuating and subjective indeed).
If I'd collect something to make money I'd buy modern paintings, not ancient coins  ;D
