Hi,

you write that the coin is readable.
At least for my eyes the photo is not clear enough to read the inscription.
So tell us what you can read on the coin, please.

Is there a big S on the obverse? Then the coin is quite likely to come from Siena in Italy.

Peter

i didn't try to check the coin in detail, but the first opinion i had was 'sten sture' from denmark.

if you like you can proof the coins from sten sture the older and sten sture the younger... they reigned in 15/16 century

greetings

Hello
Just a little correction.
Sten Sture the Elder and Sten Sture the Younger were not from Denmark.
They were both Swedish regents in the period 1470 - 1503.
