january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5181 Posts	Posted 04/26/2017 6:35 pm It seems to say Wolgast, and that's in Pomerania, and Pomeranians do like their griffins. So probably that. Can't figure out what the denomination is, though - I've seen it as Pfennig, 1/2 Pfennig and Scherf (might have been several similar denominations). Here is the Saurma example (which says it's a pfennig). Don't think I can read the date either, sadly (might be 1589). Report this Post to the Staff
