[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 3073504, member: 56"]Coins are incorporated into things like trays and cups, etc. It may ruin them as coins, but they do get used that way. I doubt that yours is a coin. The portrait looks more engraved than modeled, and it has that text at the top on the obverse. I'm not seeing any with that fleur de lis collar, which looks much like an upside down crown. I suspect yours is a decorative pastiche. Can we see the whole cup? No maker's marks? [IMG]https://www.monnaiesdantan.com/medias/louis-xiv-ecu-aux-z501291.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
