Thanks, Did you see the link above its an exact match.HH

 

[Mackaydon]

Yes, I see the original link to the finder's recordation of the find. That link shows a medal with a different reverse compared to the one I referenced--at least to these eyes.

At second glance, even the obverse of the coin I referenced is not the same as the obverse of the coin found; the wording is different.

VERY NICE FIND !!!! This medal is Prussian (German). Were there Hessian soldiers in your area during the Revolution? One EXACTLY like this was found on a virgin Revolutionary, Hessian winter campsite. ANY marked Hession relic is a rare find ! CUDOS , and BANNER all the way !!!
