Here is one of my "under $9 purchases from the year 2000" that I described recently in @era's pennies and deniers thread. The date (1549) is visible on the rev:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I think those days are gone, but those types are probably still one of the best ways to get into late medieval/early modern coins. 1548 Lithuania half groat   |

Really nice remaining detail on that Groschen @tdz. Here is one from Prussia:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

As I recall, there are a lot of nice portrait coins coming over the next 2 weeks from this part of the world. Two coins of Poland-Lithuania with an interesting story (of course our coins are about their stories!) Sigismund I (the Old) was so concerned about succession of the throne to his son, Sigismund II that he actually had him crowned co-king in 1530, then passed the title Grand Duke of Lithuania to him in 1544 when SIgismund (father) was 77 years old. So, from 1545-1548, there are coins struck by each of them, both rulers using the title Rex Poloniae (King of Poland) Here is a 1545 groat/grosz of Sigismund I using the title REX POLONIE:  ... and a 1546 half groat of Sigismund II Augustus using the title REX P MAG DVX L for REX POLONIAE MAGNI DUX LITUANIAE:  Edited by tdziemia

Nice one @tdz, and always great to be able to choose which one to feature. For 1545, I've got another <$9 pick-up:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
