Hammered Coin??

[sonnyjam]

I found this in a plowed field metal detecting. Its about 1 1/2 inches around and made of copper. It has some type of writing around the edge but, its hard to make out. Thanks

Looks 17th century if not a little older !. Pity there's not much detail left, the style of the remaining letters does look old. It could of course be a more modern copy in a very distressed state, hope its old.

I don't believe it to be a hammered coin although it has been hammered 'somewhat' after its production.

Doesn't look like a US or UK copper coin. It looks to be foriegn, probably late 18th century.

Foreign. You mean like a U.S. coin?
