Here is a Livonian Schilling dated (15)93:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

This schilling is a different denomination, but same year and mint as @tdz's coin for today:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

The nice schilling also attests to the superior level of craftmanship at this mint compared to the other Polish mints at the time (nearly round planchet of even thickness, good well-centered strike, etc. Compare to the somewhat cruder 1595 coin). For 1591 I move to Livonia (Riga mint):  .  Edited by tdziemia

For 1591, I'm taking a quick break from Siggy to post this 4 Cavalli from Naples & Sicily:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Hungary must have made bazillions of these Denars in the 16th Century. Consequently, these can be an inexpensive way to build your OFEY collection. Here is one dated 1590:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Here is one dated 1590 Even I found part of one in the dollar tray at my LCS, but which year of the 1590's is not apparent. I'm playing it today in the off chance that the wise heads here can tell which year it is with other methods.  The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

Not sure that I can help with dating that Denar @ttk--these are pretty thin, so it isn't surprising to see one broken up a bit. This 2 Kreutzer was minted at Pfalz-Simmern in (15)89:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
