don't know

but i am thinking one of the Louis's from france

could be a mile off though

[What ho chap!]

Looks like it says "....M II ROY " So i'm thinking King something the second.

[Jayreef]

I think i am now very close, the wording is correct, but the coins and jetons were numerous, and hard to find images of

LOUIS XIIII or XIV for short, 1698 issue, 1 Laird

[What ho chap!]

Similar,but then again the cross on the crown goes in between different words on the different coins.

Nice ID Jayreef

[letiss30]

wow,thanks very much for that id jayreef.it always amazes me how you experts find these id'.s
i found 3 of these coins or similar in my sisters horse paddock in febuary.they came out of the ground
looking just like a blank disc.it was only last week i decided to try and clean the crud off, and what do you know with your id,i will be going back to the paddock this week!
with your superior knowledge on the subject ,were these milled or hammered.i cant get a definative answer from my research,it seems 1656 was an important year ,with certain french milling processes being employed by cromwell.
anyway once again thanks very much,
cheers

[Jayreef]

I think you being a bit kind

anyway, I would guess at milled

hammered and copper did not really go hand in hand from my research, probably has a bronze core

Hope that helps
