      looks to be latin. but I can’t translate it mostly because I don’t know latin. 🙂

      But the first part is at least Sigillvm (sigillum), then it looked like something related to sve at first glance, but it’s most likely a G as the third letter. So I’m making out SVG(P/A)OCV which gives nothing from google.

      Image looks like a knights helmet?

      I too conclude that this is, old

      I dont know if they take questions, but I would guess that Livrustkammaren (a museum) would know more 🙂

      Any chance you could take some parchment paper or something and make a rubbing of the object? That might make the text more legible.

      Interesting to find something like that outside of the Nordic countries. Exactly where did you find it?

      I think it is „SIGILLUS SVEROG“, but that does some squinty eyes heavy lifting as well. I’m fairly sure about the first word though, „SIGILL“. Then there’s a „V“ (used as a „U“), and then a lying S, so could be „SIGILLUS“.
      The „SVEROG“ is where I have to squint my eyes, but it can fit.

      A cross pattée at the top. The middle field seems to be a great helm with a crest of maybe two ostrich feathers.

      Is this image mirrored? In that case it might be a seal matrix, is the letters and knights helm „indented“ into the „coin“?.
      It also looks like it says SIGILLUM which is latin for seal.

      Looks like „siggilum Sve Dux. V“ Sigil of the duke of Sweden. And a V probably for Valdemar. Probably Valdemar Magnusson, 14th century (early) duke.
