Sorry, I didn't spot that you had both sides shown. OK, it looks interesting but we still need weight & measurement. And maybe a picture shot in natural light?
-
Without a view of the other side it's hard to be sure but sadly, apart from spielmarks, Reader's Digest produced replicas of this very coin which turn up frequently. So weight, diameter and clear pictures of both sides are pretty much essential in identifying your piece.

What the heck! I collect medals, so I'm used to penury.

Pat, you are dooming me to penury. In the past you've given me ideas for expanding my collection, advice on books that I really should have in my library; and now this. My wife
hashad a Nexus 7 which I have foolishly just promised to upgrade on the strength of that picture alone. And, for a Luddite, I'm finding it very user friendly. -
It was in a collection I bought about two years ago.

No, it's just been floating around my desk for a while.

That's made me dig out an old 1976 Krause where it's listed as C#111. My current Krause, 5th edit. 2006 lists only C# 111.1 1803 EM. I agree it must be fake but hadn't realised that it was economically worth while to copy.

Valencia and Madrid both have thriving weekend open air coin markets.

How many years before these start appearing on coin forums with the question "Does anyone know..........?"

I am so glad that I made no suggestions on this. Why? Well for a start I must have at least 8 medals from Montserrat and have visited the monastery many times.
Me, observant or what? I've even been on the annual pilgrimage or aplec which, to be fair is more like a mobile feast, party and concert in one. The Catalans know how to enjoy themselves.

This thread comes just as there is a loose button floating around my desk, normally a candidate for the junk box.
It turns out to be a 25mm uniform button from the West London 4th Middlesex Rifles, 1860-62 by Firmin Ltd, Birmingham & London.
Pleasing to me as most of my adult life was spent in West London.

If you purchased this recently, it's likely that I was the underbidder.

That last one is an absolute cracker!

The phrase is from:
Mulier, ecce filius tuus … Ecce Mater tua (John, xix. 26, 27.)(Woman behold your son, and you behold your mother)
and is mainly found on Spanish and Maltese religious artefacts.

Thanks agan Frank. Middle French was part of my degree course. Forty some years later, it finally becomes useful.

Yes, you did very well with that. Scrap trays can be good value, the other coin you got along with this is pretty sweet too.

Real? Fake? Brass? Gold?

I'm pretty sure that the description is accurate. It's brass.
