Hey everyone,

I found this coin in Western Europe.
It is made out of copper and measures about 23mm in diameter (0.9 inches).
Only one bit of detail is visible on one side of the coin.

Here's a close-up of the only bit of detail.

It's a long shot but I know there's an ID somewhere out there.

Thanks a bunch! :hello2:

give us a more exact location. I looks to be a small value 18th or early 19th century copper.

I'm not sold on it being this exact coin - but I think this could be the style i.e. some kind of monogram or cypher with intertwined letters. It is also a size match at 23mm.

Wow!
Nice ID. Some parts of the detail look slightly off (maybe that's just me) but with all the variations and minting errors of back then I think that's the closest ID we can get.

Thanks, Bramblefind
