Anyone recognize this stamp, or parts of? I believe this a counter matrice/matri

Stamp in beeswax, no damage done. Appears to be “AN”  stamped in the crest, or shield. Dove or an angel on top.

From the side of matrice.

The raw stamp.

 Picture cropped, reversed, decoloured - if it helps … 

 

Token collector [1600-1899] with some coins

That does help. I didn't think to reverse the image. Thanks. 

 

I've also checked on reddit, this was a response:

 

“Crest looks like Pelican in its Piety. Coronet of German petty nobility. Charge on the shield is weird, maybe a monogram? It’s definitely German, though.”

I applied a little graphite to the beeswax stamp. Looks like a pelican in its peity.
