Thank you all for posting these wonderful coins! But I must say that you're tempting me to fall into the trap of bracteates.

Nice recent additions. Keith, the coin designs on your examples are very interesting.

Great examples - I particularly like the city scape image on the Magdeburg denar.

A Nassau 1848 1 Kreuzer issued by Duke Adolph.

I guess this qualifies as my earliest "German" coin, a temple denar with pseduo-legends that is attributed to Magdeburg late 10th c. (some auction houses have it 965-985, others 970-1000). It must have circulated widely in Poland before they had a coinage of their own, since earlier Polish catalogs include it.

I corrected it, Keith. It was a typo.

Haha, I don't. I've forgotten most of the stuff anyways.

For a moment there I thought you were showing a (non-existing) coin from the Dutch City of Soest.

There are some fantastic coins in this thread guys!

Here is a recent notgeld pickup. Wotan (pretty much Odin) doing Gandalf cosplay and a cool hunting scene on the reverse. Looks like the hounds have been released as well as two birds and a bat?
