Found over the weekend on a new site, has anyone any idea of its use or origin? it is copper alloy and is approx 25mm in diameter. and is plain on one side. John.
Thanks for the info. l am still trying to follow it up. JohnOilfield Diver said:It is a Prussian Eagle. Germanic / Austrian origin. Also similar to the Heraldic Arms of the Holy Roman Empire. It is probably a commerative token. I will do more research when time permits. This should get you started on the right track.
Thanks for the link Allan. No wonder l am struggling to find an exact comparisam. l will look further when l have more time. John.allan said:Seems like everyone used the double headed eagle at one time or another lol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-headed_eagle
