With this post, I'm at the end of my stash for the 15th Century. Here is another Polish Denar; this one was issued under the authority of King John Albert. Interestingly, he was a fan of a centralized government and abolished freedom of movement for non land-owners. Tying them to the land like this may have inhibited urbanization in Poland compared with elsewhere in Europe at this time. See wikipedia for more info!

This Pfennig was minted at Kärnten in 1517, about two years before King Maximilian I died:

Here is an early 16th Century Swiss Denier from the Canton of Lausanne. The edge chips are unfortunate.
