1746 Coin?

[CRUSADER]

This was the only thing Dad got last night (1 hour hunt)

Only letters I think I can see are;

LGG??IORUM?R and then lots of blanks after & before

V
1746
Laurel leaf around the V & date

Rev:

Has a crown at the top & looks like blocks under it & unreadable writing around the outside.

Its a hard one that I have never seen before, good luck!

Good challenge, wish I had World coin books However, for opening guesses, Netherlands is where I will search first......

The reason I am starting with Netherlands was this on e-bay. (Vague similarities, that is all)

Hmm I don't think V-Nickels were invented that far back.

I hope you figure it out. It does not appear to be that of the UK but who knows....

You must have posted at the same time as PBK

Probably should have mentioned this when posting the pic, but I'm sure you're aware that your own 5 reis, dated 1746, would not be in the Joseph I date range, but rather that of John V. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a photo of the identical coin. However, here's a 10 reis of John V, of the same design, showing the lettering which would appear on the obverse of your coin.
