This one is very dark and hard to photograph - but it's a Coesfelf 1644 2 Pfennig. I can't find it on Numista either, but it might be due to my searching.  Edited by Bacchus2

This one doesn't seem to be in Krause either. I could submit it as a new example - with no references - and see what the moderator there makes of it. Edited by Bacchus2

Here is a well worn 4 groat of the Bishopric of Bremen dated 1499 featuring the key that's seen on many of Bremen's later coins (though nearly completely worn away here), and on the reverse a somewhat unusual depiction of Saint Peter enthroned and wearing what is numistakeably the papal tiara:   Edited by tdziemia

Some lovely old coins there!  Here's an aluminum 200-Mark piece struck during the Weimar Republic's period of high inflation following the First World War. The mintmark 'J' indicates that the coin was struck in Hamburg.  |
