nigel n Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Hi guys thanks for the replies, going by the reverse legend, "MON NO CIV EMBDE", Emden - Free City, I thought Emden was in Germay. There are very similar coins in Krause & Mishler, in the German section but not an excact match. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
