Thanks to Mike for cropping the pics.
I couldn't help but notice how this piece looks to be either 'clipped or broken' off something.

People lose things all the time, in the darnest and weirdest places, especially kids....

I brought some Duits from Holland to school for show and tell in the 3rd grade (75-76) at Mountain Home AFB, Idaho and lost some of them. So someone has had to have found them by now and wonder why a pocket spill of Dutch coins from the 1700's are in Idaho.

Lost different variations/dates of this coin, this is the only one I still have.

For easier comparison I orientated them in the right directions. Top picture is definitely in the correct orientation (The design on the bottom is numbers), bottom picture orientation is a guess right now.
