Here is a company that makes sterling silver replica groats. I dont see yours exactly. They advertise highly accurate reproductions. By changing a letter or word they are not counterfeiting.

Is yours similar to 'D"? Edward I/III?

Nice find!

- The symbol above the face next to the S is a cross + (not T)
- REGNUM translates to Kingdom

Does it say CAIDIS or CAEDIS?

Does it feel heavy? What is its weight?

Can you post better pics (macro).

One side reads Dis-Reg-Num-Cai ??? The other side Caidi-St.- Grhrtre :tard:
Now we are getting somewhere lol. There is some kind of connection to this Renaissance Fair. :icon_king: :icon_queen: We may need a teenager to help us. This is what it says on one side: REGNUM CAIDIS (The Kingdom of Caid) Moe is right. The other side is a cross. Before the cross is the word CAIDIS again.. Check this out: SHOLARUM CAIDIS is a web page designed for teenagers who are active or interested in The Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. (SCA).
http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/caidteens/
The Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc., is a non-profit, educational organization of people with a common interest: the history and the culture of the Middle Ages and Renaissance (600 to 1600 AD). Instead of just reading about this period, we learn by recreating aspects of the activities, crafts, and society of the Middle Ages.

My guess is this token was from the Renaissance Fair. You could e-mail the address on the bottom.

I havent figured out the letters after the cross. GRHRTRE? :icon_scratch: :icon_study:

Here is a whole page of e-mail addresses for SCA officers that may recognize this coin or the unidentified writing. (GRHRTRE?). http://regnum.sca-caid.org/

SCA appears to be popular in California.

The Kingdom of Caid is the sixth kingdom in the Society for Creative Anachronism . Its modern boundaries include Southern California, Southern Nevada and Hawaii.

;D Yes it is all a bit weird but interesting to ID. ;D It may have some value, afterall it is silver. The SCA has 60,000 members. Arent you a bit curious as to what it commemorates or was used for? Are you sure the unidentified letters are GRHRTRE?

Here is a link to coins made for the SCA organization:

This group seems very elaborate with their kingdom creations.

Nice find anyway!
