Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 03/30/2020 07:27 am @tzd, yes that is possible: the Bonhoff catalog states that it is "St. Petrus (nicht erkennbar)". If it wasn't recognizable to him, then I suppose it could be just about anyone on these coins.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7966 Posts	Posted 03/30/2020 09:56 am I defer to the catalog ... though I occasionally see mis-attributions of saints' images in auction listings. This later 1/2 Batzen coin of Regensburg has St. Wolfgang for sure Report this Post to the Staff
pepactonius Pillar of the Community United States 9395 Posts	Posted 03/30/2020 4:49 pm I guess this is St. Stephen -- Bishopric of Passau -- 1 batzen, 1518: Report this Post to the Staff
pepactonius Pillar of the Community United States 9395 Posts	Posted 03/30/2020 4:55 pm Archbishopric of Salzburg -- 1 batzen, 1500: (Saint Rupert?) Report this Post to the Staff
pepactonius Pillar of the Community United States 9395 Posts	Posted 03/30/2020 4:58 pm Something much more modern: St. George -- Union of South Africa -- 1 sovereign, 1928: Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7966 Posts	Posted 03/30/2020 5:47 pm Super group! Yes, I suppose depending on which language one prefers the Salzburg saint is St. Rupert or Ruprecht? (Rudbertus in Latin I suppose). Here is mine, thanks to you OFEY guys pointing out it was an accessible choice for the year 1500: Report this Post to the Staff
pepactonius Pillar of the Community United States 9395 Posts	Posted 03/31/2020 5:15 pm I guess it's time to start with St George and the Russian Empire: Russian Empire -- 20 kopeks, 1916: Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 03/31/2020 8:18 pm Here are a couple 13th Century silver Pfennigs from the Austrian Duchy of Carinthia (minted in St. Veit). Despite the different depictions, I believe that the reverse of both of them is ole St. Veit himself. On the second coin, you can see the retrograde inscription TIEV--what is largely off flan is SANT.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7966 Posts	Posted 03/31/2020 8:47 pm This is shaping up to be a great week! I will drop in a couple of Papal States issues to cover centuries in between those nice pairs. First, Saint Bruno (founder of the Carthusian order) on this undated testone (1689-90) Then this 1709 grosso from the Ferrara mint with yet another St. George (Ferrara ceased being a duchy when Alphpnso II d'Este died without an heir in 1598. The pope gobbled up the former duchy). Report this Post to the Staff
pepactonius Pillar of the Community United States 9395 Posts	Posted 04/01/2020 06:15 am Let's finish up salzburg, before continuing with Russia -- Archbishopric of Salzburg -- 1/9 thaler, 1638: (St. Rupert) Report this Post to the Staff
pepactonius Pillar of the Community United States 9395 Posts	Posted 04/01/2020 06:17 am Archbishopric of Salzburg -- 3 kreuzer, 1691: (St. Rupert) Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7966 Posts	Posted 04/01/2020 5:07 pm I'll add one more nice St. Rupert from Salzburg, this 1700 Thaler, with a madonna reverse: Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 04/01/2020 5:33 pm Wow that Thaler is drool-worthy! Here is a beat-up 12th Century Follaro of the Italian City of Salerno. The guy with the halo is St. Matthew and you can see one half of the inscription (SM) which flanks him.
