bonzo knople

(Bonzo Knople)

i have this coin in the collection for quite sometime now. i dont recollect how it landed up with me. but have wanted to know more about this coin after i realised it was a bit unique. i did google a lot for this, but couldnt find an exact match of this coin anywhere (hoping its truly an antique possesion). it appears to be originated from germany-austria region, and a slight visibily of the year on the coin says "1760".

i hope this coin turns out to be very rare antique and i become a millionaire by selling it!

i am just hoping there is no murder involved of the coin owner (i dont want this also to be a coincidence) and the story has a happy ending with the owner becoming a millionaire! :P what do u say?
