I've been waiting for this day to make my sole contribution to the thread! Free city of Kempten (German States) ½ Batzen 1519 
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Nice 1/2 batzen @Hondo Bogus! It was worth the wait!

Really nice coin @Hondo, and from a pretty obscure place! I've got one more Lithuanian half groat for 1518 before I mix it up tomorrow. We are now in the transition back to a "gothic" script in this part of the world.

That is a nice Half Batzen @hon. I've got a similar coin as @tdz for today:

Starting out 1517 with this Salzburg zweier...   I did remember to take photos of the blank side this time! You can kind of see the incuse impression of some parts of the non-blank side - most prominently the last two digits of the date (at 7h).
