Hi Peter,

Thanks very much for the reply. I searched for pictures of this type of
jetton on the internet and found something very similar to mine:

Oh well, I was hoping it was a medieval French gold coin!

Hi

What you have there looks like a Nuremburg Jetton, And if I am not
mistaken it is a Hans Krauwinckel Type (1586 - 1635)

Hope this helps

Hi,

I recently bought a bag of coin and token oddments. I've managed to

identify
all but two; this is one of them:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dsouzae...n/unknown2.jpg

It weighs a mere 1.6 grams and is about 15 mm across.

I know nothing about gold coins (I specialise in copper), but this looks
like gold to me (it's certainly a different colour to my many "in memory

of
the good old days" tokens!).

Can anyone identify this for me?

Thanks a lot,

Jon
