Does anyone recognize this old probably European coin? [solved]

4 posts • viewed 162 times
This coin I found in a collection of unsorted coins of a friend of mine from the Netherlands. Considering the other coins he has most likely it is a coin from Western Europe, the little lion in the bottom coat of arms makes me think it's a Dutch coin. I appreciate any help on determining what it is exctly.

Besides coins I love geometry. The avatar consists of each of the 35 hexominoes used precisely once. With the 5 large yellow shapes placed like this, the solution for tiling the remaining 30 hexominoes is unique.
Edit.: Next time add measurements(diameter, weight, etc).

Definitely from Netherlands. Despite its condition:

The fleur de liss in the center of the big shield (right photo) gives you a hint about the ruler.

I think I am able to see a "V" in the side with the little shields (left photo), so there is a chance to be from Felipe V

Make a simple search of "liard Felipe V" in our catalogue, you will need to do some comparation but there should be something that matchs your coin

Hi Klei92!

First of all the size and metal: the diameter is 24 mm, it's about 1 mm thick, it looks like it's a copper coin.
As there are no little dots near the edge, the original diameter may have been 24.5 mm or maybe they used a 24 mm blank coin for a 24.5 mm design.

Indeed it is a Filipe V coin (PHIL V), the best match I found is a liard indeed from Namur 1710, yet not the 3rd coin (1710 24 mm) on page 12 but the second (1709-1711 24.5 mm).

I noticed some oord coins from Brabant are very similar in design, yet there is no Filipe V oord coin mentioned from Brabant. Therefor it would not surprise me if these Namur liard coins circulated in Brabant as oord coins.

Thank you very much!

Is this one https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces39688.html

The "problem" with the dots its not a problem at all, as it is posible to see that your coin had a "hard" life and its worn; I would say that that detail simple was worned time ago 👍
