but is heavier. Any suggestions?

Metal: silver
Weight: 1.19
Size: 18.38
Thickness 0.54
On the right picture I can read SI GIS MVN DVS
The eagle looks like Poland : http://nl.aliexpress.com/item/Poland-VI-GROSS-1536-SIGISMUND-historical-COIN-COPY-FREE-SHIPPING/1673110844.html

Poland had 3 Sigismund kings (1505-1955)
The TIR can also be STIRIA?

forget all the above.
Your coin is this:
Austria
-Tyrol, 1439-1493, kreuzer

PetrusAscanus - Thanks for the confirmation.

I can now enter it and it gives me a new country! (Just in time for Christmas)

Hello Roy,

Might be even nicer than that.
I checked after your message and it seems your coin is of the type minted in Hall rather than Meran (the one of the sheet).
Difference is in the 3 4 pointed stars, the tail more simple and the eagle's crown with simple points for Meran and double ends for Hall. The general design is finer for Hall.

Though for many coins, the difference is hard to do.

Let me a bit of time and I verify and eventually add y new sheet for the Hall Kreuzer ok ?

Regards,
André

Thanks for the web link. Lovely coin. I am pleased because for me it is a new country which is a very rare occurrence.
