Coin or Token??

[jacobvs]

Hi all,

I was hoping someone may be able to give me a clue with the attached. The monarch looks Spanish maybe, but not been able to find anything remotely like it. Perhaps not actually a coin but maybe a token, counter or jeton?

Appears to be copper alloy on a very thin sheet like flan. Diameter: 17mm, Weight: 0.6g

Date wise, I was thinking c16th-c17th or later maybe if not a coin??

Any help much appreciated!

Best regards,

James

I have had a bit of a look at this, but got nowhere so far.

The head reminds me of the late 18th century evasion and counterfeit halfpennies produced in the UK and America, but the reverse does not relate to these at all. The crossed knot design reminded me of some Portuguese and Maltese coins of that era, but again no match so far.

Good luck!
