Maybe posting this in the 'miscellania' forum might be better suited ?

I have no idea what this is but thought it odd that the two holes were punched from opposite sides, one punched front to back, one punched back to front ( as shown by the remnants of the cone created by driving a sharp implement through the metal ).

Appears to depict Leopold I Holy Roman Emperor (1640-1705)
also knows as "Hogmouth" for his distinctive Habsburg chin. |

Thanks for the answers!
Yes, those holes seem to be drilled unprofessional through the metal. VBut in old times before it landed in the ground. @ Oliver: Possible, but I´m afraid the many noble persons of this time looked like that. There is a rest of some connection or the like left on the left side (picture of the back). Maybe this can give a hint... Thanks and best regards Andreas |
