Found this in Germany about two years ago .It is about the size of a nickle and in rough shape but being wintered in, boredom got the best of me so I am going through some old finds and trying to get some IDs. Thanks much and HH.

dont know, but i wish it were mine! lol....have you taken a piece of paper and layed it over the coin an then tried to rub a pen over it to get a better detail of the writing? Really cool birdman! I'd take it to a coin dealer if i were you. Let us know if you find out more about it!

DCMatt You rock! I figured it was in to bad of shape for an ID but someone on TNet always seems to come through. I thank France occupied that part of Germany from time to time so that would make sense. Thanks much for the ID. Very cool.

Your coin was minted during the reign of King Louis XIV. Famous guy for many reasons. Not surprising that these type coins made it into Germany.
