ScottO Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 thought it would be french or crusader but, cant see anything that matches that cross design, other side has no portrait, some sort of design (again similar to french designs where they have a letter and a design) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeOldeCollector Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Maybe with a bigger pic... I've already tried that approach. It is an intriguing coin, though, at least from the eBay picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 i can tell you the design on the obverse is a key with something going across it, which i can't make out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I bet if you acid treated this one the design would come back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 rather not do that. oki, had a look at a french site (just checking french regionals) and found that the cross design was used in avignon, but can't find anything involving the single key, incidently it has a papal link, but i have only seen crossed keys.

frank Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Looks like I found a very similar coin on a French metal detectors site: a French patard from Pope Clement VIII (1592-1605). Here's the link: http://www.la-detection.com/dp/message-44096.htm Here's the text of the message (scroll down): c'est bien un patard de Clement VIII 1592 et 1605 A/CLEMENT VIII.PONT.MA 2 clefs en sautoir (2 keys crossed) R/S PETRVS.ET.PAVLVS.CAR croix dans 4 demi cercle (a cross in 4 half-circles) PA 4367 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
