I think I would have a hard time scrapping any coin of that age that was at all identifiable...
For example, here are a couple of (sorry not silver) coins I have from the early 1800s,
I wonder how they eventually found their way into my pocket?
I don't even know where they are from, or what they are made of...
I think they are from Portugal though I couldn't identify them specifically. Here's one that's close: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces11582.html
Thanks, that looks like a match for the second one. And thank you for that website, it's a good resource.
I should have included something for scale. These two coins are just about the same size as a silver 1oz Canadian Maple leaf .
I know! I have a bunch of old European copper or bronze stuff from the 1800s that's just really cool to look at, and imagine what history (and pockets), these coins have gone through.
