Ah yes, the year 1491. I remember it well as it was a stopper in my OFEY collection for a decade or more. Here is a Mariengroschen from Aachen (Levinson I-258):   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Great coin, and still a stopper for me  (I think my only one until sometime in the 1460s). |

Yeah they def don't come up for auction very often. I got mine from a seller before he listed it. @tdz, what are your thoughts about submitting pix of this coin to numista? The one currently pictured has a bit more wear (but has been slabbed): https://en.numista.com/119034"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Looks somewhat similar to mine but for today (Florence Grosso Guelfo datable to first half of 1487):   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
