Help - Identify coin / medal 2

Here's another strange one... probably just a trinket, but I'd be interested in the feedback. It is large (4.5cm diametre) and bright silver in colour...



Thanks,
Janine

Good morning Janine, looks like it might be a 18th century Dutch 1 Ducaton, see here:

If genuine, it could be quite valuable.

Hi Radrick007, Yes, the Obverse is almost identical, but the reverse on mine is blank. It is very beautiful, and heavy, so perhaps it is silver...

Hello,

The blank side looks like it may have been ground off, perhaps to glue into a pendent or something of that sort.
I've seen other coins that have been done in this way. But this is just one possible explanation.
