 hello, the pictures are very big and so the definition is not the best. I can see what look like two rather shinier places, but can`t see what they might be.

Can you send them again a bit smaller?Viktoria.

Hi, it possibly had a hole drilled in it at some time, probably to hang from a chain and was filled in at a later date.
I have come across several old coins where this has been the case.  :)
