Roger Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 This is what I believe to be a pocket watch FOB. I'm thinking that this went on the end of a chain and through a button hole in a Victorian mans vest. It looks to be a copy of an Austrian 1/4 Thaler. Marked very discretely "Lauer" and "Nurngb" Measures 33mm in diameter, 2.5mm thick at the rim and was "Silvered". Some of the silvering is still present. Please present additional info if you have it---Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Great find! Where's the evidence of silvering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Great find! Where's the evidence of silvering? On the reverse (side with the date I guess?), lower left quadrant of coin, bright stuff shown as lighter color.I guess it's silver or silver colored wash of some sort. I think this would be right as the original coins (1/4 Thaler) of the era were silver and the maker is trying to emulate it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
