Description: | Copper alloyCoin. Kindly identified by Robert Webley as a six deniers piece of Louis XIV of France (reigned 1661-1715). This corrected an initial identification of this object as a token.Concavo-convex disc with central drilled aperture of diameter 2.5mm; this operation may have distorted an originally flat object.?Obverse description (convex side): Central triangle with a pair of lines radiating from each of its faces, apparently terminating with crowns. A trifid feature, possibly lis, springs from each corner of triangle. A circumferential legend is in capital letters of modern style.?Obverse inscription: [--]NA[--]O.?Reverse description (concave side): Three curls side by side with a lis at either end.Cliff Reeves kindly examined this object, confirming it is not a Roman coin. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1661-1715.Diameter: 24.9mm, Thickness: 1.1mm, Weight: 3.99gms.
