tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7965 Posts	Posted 04/13/2020 7:40 pm Looks like a nice madonna to me. And an intriguing legend SUSCIPE ET PROTEGE (receive and protect?) Thanks for all the contributions @pepactonius! I don't think there are many more coming for this week. Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7965 Posts	Posted 04/14/2020 4:02 pm Here is an undated mid-15th c. heller with the head of St. John the Baptist, from a place that could have wound up under S for Silesia, or B for Breslau, but I will go with its Polish name, Wroclaw Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34441 Posts	Posted 04/15/2020 11:15 am Here is my last post for the week. This Schilling from the German Bishopric of Wüezburg is undated (but was issued in 1443 AD) and includes an image of St. Killian on the rev: "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7965 Posts	Posted 04/15/2020 2:35 pm Thanks for all the great contributions! Since we now have a couple of these German Killians ... He was an Irish bishop of the late mid 7th century who was sent by the pope on a mission to convert people of Franconia/Thuringia. He was martyred in Wurzburg in 689 allegedly for challenging the legitimacy of Duke Gozbert's marriage to his widowed sister-in-law. I have a couple more for W-Z, and will publish a final list on the weekend. Edited by tdziemia 04/15/2020 2:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7965 Posts	Posted 04/16/2020 09:00 am @spence beat me to the end of the alphabet with that coin from Zug. We've seen that the Swiss cantons were proud of their patron saints: Berne (St. Vincent), Luzerne (St. Leodegar), Solothurn (St. Ursus) have already appeared here, and I am aware there are other coins of Zug with St. Oswald, and coins of Fribourg with St. Nicolas (a particularly difficult saint to come by). Here is my only Z, a 10 pfennig 1920 notgeld coin from Zeitz with St. Michael Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7965 Posts	Posted 04/17/2020 10:32 pm A bit lean in this part of the alphabet, as expected. My last for W-Z is this undated notgeld coin of the city of Werden with an image of St. Ludger (not to be confused with Leodegar who shows up in Lucerne ... Can't tell your saints without a scorecard) Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7965 Posts	Posted 04/18/2020 9:29 pm Though we are at the "planned" ending of the thread, I would like for the moderators to keep this open a while for any additional contributions from members who discover it in the coming days of weeks and have new things to add. Many thanks to all who contributed, and thank you also for your patience with any quirks I introduced (Great Britain vs U.K. and whether Jesus should qualify as a "saint").

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7965 Posts	Posted 05/23/2020 9:51 pm Yes, I think @january1may got us off of "Western" (Roman) saints, and added some who are honored in the Eastern church. Saint Henry, on the other hand, is about as "Roman" as you can get. Holy Roman Emperor Henry II was the last emperor in the Ottonian line, ruling as King of Germany from 1002, and then Holy Roman Emperor 1014-1024. He was both a pious Christian, and an avid promoter of the power of Christian clerics as a counter to the power of the German nobility. He founded the bishopric of Bamberg in 1007, and was canonized as Saint Henry about a century after his death, in 1147. He is thus one of the very few saints who have both issued coins as sovereigns. and later appeared on coins as patron saints (St. Ladislas of Hungary is another who comes to mind). Henry appears on coins of the Bishopric of Bamberg (typically the batzen = 4 kreuzer) in the 17th and 18th centuries, and a coin with his image was noted on an older CCF thread http://goccf.com/t/103798&SearchTerms=Bamberg Here is a 1698 batzen: Edited by tdziemia 05/24/2020 08:22 am Report this Post to the Staff
