Good afternoon all 

 

Could I dip in to the vast knowledge on this form with this coin

 

I can make out the letters of h k x within the cross the other letter is indistinct

 

Many thanks

 Pictures are too blurred but cropped anyway if it helps … 

 

 

 What may help a lot is the diameter.

 The next result in a search is this … 

N#43880 

with those same eight letters, and if first picture is rotated 

 

it could be the sword that St Peter is holding. Maybe.
