Tricky ID needed

Weiss

At least I thought so. Found by a detectorist in the US recently. That should be some clue to its age, maybe 300 years, but stranger and older things have been found by us detectorists where they don't make sense. Appears to be either copper or bronze.

He says you can make out an "IUS II" on the obverse, and that on the reverse is a small shield with a chalice in the lower right next to the building or alter. Prancing horse above.

Ancient? European? I'm stumped.

CIVITAS

I would guess its some sort of jeton/medal featuring George II of England. Mid 1700s.

Weiss

Thanks, Civitas. My first thought was Jeton, too, but I convinced myself it was papal. You nailed it, it's Fredrich II. Prussia, circa 1786.
