erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 11/06/2019 2:27 pm The inscriptions translate as: D G RUDOLPH AUGUSTUS DUX B E L = Dei Gratia Rudolphus Augustus Dux Brunsvig et Luneburg = By the Grace of God Rudolph August Duke of Braunschweig and Lüneburg REMIGIO ALTISSIMI = After the will of the highest (Rudolph's motto) How to translate abbreviated Latin? Well, in my case - experience from medieval and renaissance coins + Google + a little knowledge of Latin Edited by erafjel 11/06/2019 2:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

But the description with D G at beginning of the legend fits, and the VI Mariengroschen in Numista for the same date range (KM#503) is a very good match to your design, so I think you can be fairly confident. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces122593.html You can get confirmation by listing your coin in Numista. The moderator there will let you know if he thinks this is not correct. You will need a good photo closely cropped and on a white background (the quality of the one you posted looks fine). With erafjel's permission, you can use his translations of the legends, and I think it will make a super listing! Edited by tdziemia 11/06/2019 5:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
