All info welcome of this unknown coin ? We see next to the shield 8 & 9 = 1689 ??
Who recognize this shield of arms ?
Diagonaal : 50 mm . Found in The Netherlands

The three antlers in the central shield should be Württemberg

Thanks for your coop.

Already a match of the original coin .
This seems to be a " Notmünze " ?
Maybe someone recognize this item or have info .

Sometimes a Klippe (example of a regular coin wich was minted on a square planchet and usually was heavier than the original coin the dies were used for) was given as a present to people with an important ststus in society. Also sometimes you were abled to buy such specimens a a present back then. Also this type of shape was used to test the dies (but usually they used a cheaper material in this cases) and more regularly when the coins were about to get tested for their silver content by the ruling authorities these were given as a sample.

@muppetshow ,

Thanks for this extra info !
Seems to be a interesting find . I also see square Klippe coins before (Danish Klippe coins ) .
Kind regards from The Netherlands , Pinpoint
