florencepugh Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Hi there. I found this coin washed up on a beach in the Bahamas. Does anyone know what it is/where it's from? Thanks! Quote
Mr T Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 What does the text around the rim in the first image say? Quote
florencepugh Posted January 22, 2017 Author Posted January 22, 2017 I'm not entirely sure because the writing is not clear but the parts I can sort of make out look like they say "Michon Michelec dlyon Messie" and I think the date says 1920. The word Tide has also been carved into it. Quote
bagerap Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 The lion rampant is similar to that of Czech/Bohemian coins and possibly Belgian. The whole thing has an appearance the far predates 1920 so maybe it's a medal or commemorative restrike. Could we have the diameter and weight please? Quote
