Thx @dear, sorry that I didn't notice my mistake, but glad that you took care of it for me! And from one year later, I've got this Pfennig from Steiermark:

For the 16th Century, more of my coins are larger silvers (perhaps because those are the ones which were dated and that is the real focus of my collection), but there are def a few of these minors mixed in. Here is another Hungarian Denar, for example:

And now a 1529-dated Prussia Solidus (minted at Thorun under Polish rule). Its maybe a little big for this thread, but I was thinking that we had included silver solidi previously. Probably good to sort that out though as when we get to the 17th century, I'll have a whole bunch of these (debased into pretty much just copper at that point).

Quote: And now a 1529-dated Prussia Solidus . . . Its maybe a little big for this thread, but I was thinking that we had included silver solidi previously. Probably good to sort that out though as when we get to the 17th century No, solidi we have not had in this thread - we have discussed drachms (out of scope), hellers (ok if pre 1385, after that out of scope), terzo/tercius (out of scope strictly speaking, but accepted as "honorary denier" due to its denier-likeness), bracteates (ok if they have the value of 1 denier or pfennig), petits deniers (ok), Serbian dinara (ok because of its name, despite being more like grossi), noven (= dinero, so ok), örtug (out of scope), hvid (out of scope), schwaren/heavy pfennig (ok). Polish solidi are not my area, but if I understand correctly, a solidus like this is a third of a grosz, the grosz being 12 (or 18?) deniers. With the solidus equal to 4 or 6 deniers, it falls out of scope. A pity, because it is nice.
