This one is just shy of 440 years old but still a nice big ol piece of copper. 1575 Papal Medal of Pope Gregory XIII. This is an original piece from 1575 and not a re-strike. It is made of copper and measures 32mm (just smaller than a silver dollar, but about twice as thick).
Welcomed back an old friend this week - Boiler78 and I share custody.

Wow - some beautiful coins in this thread!!! I especially like the Mass. half cent!
Here is my only one that is over 200 years old, though it's not quite a nice as the one just above... I posted this image a few months ago and I'm hoping to add a chain cent to go with it soon.

Oh... and speaking of diggin', and Draped Busts...
