Does anyone recognize this possible coin weight, or the gold coin for which
it could have been made.
It is dated 1653 and shows two crocodiles/alligators on it, along with the date
and other letters. It was found in Germany.
From A friend, possible answer(?)
There are three letters below the year and more letters below the croc(odile). No gold coin
shows a crocodile that we know, but it could be a city coat of arms. Like Nimes in
France [home of demins] which has a croc(odile) chained to a palmtree as its coat of arms.
UPDATE
The mass of the object is 3.74 grams
The three objects above the croc appear to be little birds.
It is though that it could be a coin weight for a ducat, although which one?
A new photo, but not much improvement in that.
Appears to be a log under the croc, he is maybe climbing up the log.]
