Small coins called 'Boratynka"

Hi !!

In Poland We have plenty of them, for real.
I have been detecting for a year only, but i find over 20 of them.
They are pretty old, come from years 1658-1669 (if my memory is OK...) There were two kinds of them. Polish and Lithuanian.
The Polish one is the one with the eagle on it, Lithuanian has got a man on a horse.
I got to clean them someday.... ::)

Greetings Matejko

I forgot... To show You a size of this coin i put an "AA" battery next to them.
One small square on photo is equal exactly 1 mm ( one millimeter).
That should be enough to see the size.

Those are great coins. I wish there were coins that old around here for me to find.

Be careful cleaning the coins because cleaning can damage the surface and greatly reduce the value.

Good luck and post pics of your future finds.
