Reverse: CREST CUNT. CONCORDIA RES PARVAE (1767)This is an interesting piece for me, aside to Perak Tampang, this is one of item that chip me the most. But that is not a case here.
I can't be sure whether this coin circulated in Tanah Melayu (The Malay Land) or not, since the seller claims to have bought this from Sumatera, Indonesia - which of course he can finds this there, since Indonesia were parts of Holland's colony.
I took this into collection considering that I am collecting silver coins, and it won't be wrong to add one more piece of item. I cannot discuss much about this coin until I find more information about it.
But, these are some interesting information that I have found on http://www.artfact.com/
