On one side of the coin there is a crown at the top, scrollwork containing a crest with four designs in it, and the words: "COMITIA BVRGVNDIAE". On the other side there is a slightly different crown, with two Lions holding a crest with four designs in it, underneath this crest is the letter "A"
Thanks in advance for any helpimage

Hail the gift of memory in this fifty-second state. Who sold me down the river and shafts me while he waits. Outside the gates of Eden, star spangled and so late.

    Are you sure it's 1700's? Any date anywhere? Doesn't sound British or French or Spanish.
