It's a very interesting historical coin. Thank you Spence for sharing it.

Except for only being half struck perhaps due to a thin flan, this 14th Century Denar from the German Bishopric of Munster has pretty good remaining detail. That is St. Paul on the back.

Moving a little south, here is a late-14th Century Pfennig from a different German Bishopric (Würzbrug):

Really a lot of neat additions since the last time I was able to post. The only coin I ever had with a squirrel on it was I think from Sweden and about 600 years after that cool Austrian denar. And I love that iconic Slavonian type with the weasel/stoat! Not to mention ultra-obscure places like Brehna and Sorau ... I nabbed this homely early denar from the Count of Namur yesterday. The bust is somewhat legible, and the legends not too bad for this type which is always kinda crude.  © Warszawskie Centrum Numizmatyczny Obv: Bust, ALBERTVS Rev. MONE / T / A in form of cross, and NAM... (usually NAMVCENSIS) around, maybe retrograde on this one

Quote: English silver penny. Short Cross, Henry III (1216-47), moneyer Henri of Canterbury (detector find) Wow, awesome find! Spence, great to see you keeping this thread alive. Great coins too! Quote: The only coin I ever had with a squirrel on it was I think from Sweden Hm, that might have been Norway. The Swedish mint has always been too conservative to put anything but kings and monograms on our (boring) coins (except for the occasional commemorative). But nice Namur denier!

Quote: great to see you keeping this thread alive No worries--glad to help! Moving even further south is this Bavarian-Landshut Pfennig issued in the late-14th Century under the authority of Otto V and Frederick I.
