    Thanks Zhanna! Yes, this is an extremely rare piece. I have never seen one like this before. You should have seen the place where I pulled this beauty from! It was all completely black! The top is an antique very worn coin. The seller mentioned that it is a French coin but I believe it is either Spanish or Austrian but I will find out. With kind regards. Peter

    Incredible. I definitely looks very old. I believe the coin might be a Spanish "pillar dollar". My congrats, Peter.
