    Hey folks. Went down to an antique shop in GA as i'm visiting here, and in a $1-$5 dollar box of loose coins I saw something different that caught my eye. It's some type of golden in color (I'm 80% sure it's not gold) token/medallion/coin piece. It has 2 loops on it which look like they've been attached after the making of the coin. It's dated 1754, above the date are 2 Key's crossed over eachother in a portal looking thing. It has "Moneta Nova" and "Reip Ratisp" worded on the same side. I do know Moneta Nova means "New Money". On the other side (obverse?) it has a Double Headed Eagle with a crown above the heads. I've seen the same thing on Wikipedia, and somehow it's related to the Orthodox Church and possibly the Russia Empire. It's worded "Rom-Imp-Semp-Avg" and "Franciscvs-I.-D.-G.. I'm not familiar with world coins, especially pre-1900's. If anyone has any information, or some refrences I could check out, that would be awesome. Thanks!

    Do you know where I could find a pricing reference on these? Not finding anything to promising.
