Found this little beauty in a farm field and I've been scouring the net for the past two days attempting to ID it to no avail. It's copper, approx 20MM diameter, the pic is of the only side that would scan somewhat clearly, the otherside is almost worn smooth. This coin is unlike any other I've seen, and I've seen many colonial and foreign coins. To me it appears to be from the 1700's based on writing style, size and shape.
The pic isn't as clear as the coin, but from what I can gather the letters from left to right are ANCE but only NCE shows on scan, some unusual symbol seperating the words, then DER only DE in scan. I can also see a crown below ANCE and a club (playing card symbol) below the symbol seperating words. Also at the bottom I can see what looks to be II the roman numeral 2.
The reverse side shows what appears to be a cross, with 3 crowned ends but the image on the coin is very faint.
Well that's all I can supply for info, any help?? Anyone know what it is??
