Schaumburg-Lippe - Adolf Georg (1860-1893) 1865 Thaler. This one had a pretty small mintage of only 7000. I collect all these thalers about 20 years ago and hadn't really looked at them much since. I was somewhat shocked when I saw what this one was going for now.

Quote: pretty nice clipped coin tdz! Good catch, Dearborn. Often for coins of that era in central Europe, it means the coin was roller milled. Multiple coins were stamped on sheets (rather than being made one at at time), then punched out. I should check if that coin has the telltale sign of also being slightly curved. Meanwhile, a 1917 50 pfennig notgeld from the city of Iserlohn:

I don't know the background behind Notgeld issues (I assume it was war-related shortage of coin) but I like that many of the cities making them reverted to designs they had used many centuries earlier. In this case of the last coin posted, the coat of arms of the city of Iserlohn has their patron saint (St.Pancras) atop the city walls, ready to defend it. There are 13th century coins struck in Iserlohn with similar images. Speaking of the 13th century, here is a bracteate of Magdeburg dating to 1232-1235

Bacchus2 was keeping us going on a "one-a-day" habit (apropos to the thread title) till his system crashed, and I can't do that for long, but I'll do my best. Here is a 1521 batzen from the city of Ottingen:   I'm positively inclined toward any place with a dog in its coat of arms.

I'm sort of back :) New PC, retrieved my backups - but lost some more recent high quality images and Windows 11 is playing merry havoc with some of my softwear...
That's a really interesting Ottingen batzen example. What on earth is going on with that reverse? It looks like a saint bursting out of a tree? I assume he was crucified on a treem or similar, and hence made a martyr in that way?
I've never seen an image like that before - very cool.
