Hello Folks.
Merry Christmas! I wish you all prosperity, love and happiness. I came across an odd token. It looks like it's one of those counter tokens, but it could be something else. I submitted it on Numista, Patrick (PLH28) recommended first this to go through the forum for identification, because he hasn't seen this as well.
Weight: 2.4
Diameter: 26
It has 4 french lilies and a big cross on reverse with oval shaping around it.
Is there somebody who knows what this is ? Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Stef
