Maybe someone can help me out, this was found outside Berlin Germany about 1974. Don't let the location fool you though as the first find was a wheat penny. I am sure I have seen this design before but can't seem to jog the memory enough to track it down. Any help???? Thanks, Rick

A penny for size comparison, it is really thin, about a quarter the thickness of a dime,

part. Go figure...

    Double Parisis of France, early to mid 1300s. Legend on the right picture(rotate 90ccw) would ID the ruler, but I can't make out any of it.

    Very cool. Nice work from those who posted info, too. I would have been stumped, beyond narrowing the date down to somewhere between the 12th and 14th centuries by the style of the thing.
