Help! Need new eyes on this beautiful medieval token/coin????

6 berichten • 85 keer bekeken

Top row - side A  4 different photos - varying light and processing.     Bottom row - same for reverse

The token weighs 0.66 g and measures 21 mm.  Thin, probably copper.  

 

Have posted this several times, with different photos, but with no responses/ideas.  Help!!

It would help if you can post a single good photo of each side.

 

I cannot open this photo to enlarge it and see the details (also a problem with the photo in your earlier post on this coin).

 

From your earlier thread, it looks like one quadrant of the coat of arms has five balls (or shields?) … possibly standing for Portugal?  Late in his reign, Philip Philip II of Spain added a Portuguese emblem to his coat of arms.  And coins with his arms were on many places (Spain, Low countries, etc) … Having a better photo will help rule this in or out as a possibility.

Maybe this helps?

 

And from the prior post:

 

Looks like a jetton/counter token

 

Maybe not, anyway, this page have more than 5k, it is possible to navigate between each Tome, very interesting

I apologize that I am not familiar enough with how to post pictures on the Numista Forum.  Rsirian1 just reposted one of my earlier attempts.

 Is there a way I can repost the 4 view picture so that it can be viewed full scale???

 

The elaboration around the shield was used by the Lisbon mint, and the five balls suggest Portugal, but I have been unable to find a 

coat of arms or heraldry resembling this token.  And I have been unable to find anything with the arc or mound at the base of the shield. 

 It is possible that the two sides are essentially identical.
