  Pragergroschen from Wenceslas II (1278-1305), Kingdom of Bohemia minted in Kuttenberg Obverse: +DEI:GRATIA+REX:BOEMIE around +WENZESLAVS SECVNDVS around crown Reverse: +GROSSI+PRAGENSES around lion of Bohemia This was the first ruler to start ~1300 to coin the Pragergroschen, he was also for times King of Poland Just as point of interest: see on the reverse the two S in 'grossi' in a lying position while the S in 'pragenses' is the way we are used to. |

  Pragergroschen from Wenceslas III(IV) (1378-1419), Kingdom of Bohemia minted in Kuttenberg Obverse: DEI GRATIA REX:BOEMIE around +WENZESLAVS:TERCIVS around crown Reverse: GROSSI PRAGENSES around lion of Bohemia Not much legible of the legend but the key 'TERCIVS' is. Why III(IV)? The Wenceslas which is nowadays counted as III without comment was a young boy, who was never crowned but viewed by some as the King of Bohemia from 1305-1306 when he died as 16 year old. |

There are other Pan Liangs with different weight which through that can be attributed to the reign of Emperor Wen Ti (178BC-157BC) but they look just the same as those above, so it's not worth showing. So here my last offering for W. To avoid boring you with another Pragergroschen, here a coin from his other realm:   Denar from Wladislaus II (1490-1516), Kingdom of Hungary - Huszar#808 / cf.Rethy#275/272 Obverse: M.WLADISLAI.R.VNGARI (retrograde N) around arms Reverse: PATRONA VNGARIE around Madonna with child, at sides K H |

After a lot of head scratching, the only thing I could come up with remotely viable for X are the denominations for early Republican Denari or the larger aes denominations on some of the Byzantines. But i'll give it a miss and start counting my Ys and Zs.  |

You are nearly tempting me to scan some of the Chinese coins with I have written down with year titles starting with 'hs', but for now I stick with the old transliteration.
You have the full attribution?

no med, I never did figure out the exact attribution of the coin. I did figure out the smaller TR coin, it is hartill16.171 the other coins are 2 cash coins, I think, but not certain, that I have them correctly IDed as far as general type.
