Can you please add this information to the thread? With that said, the second image showing a helm, crown, and about a thousand little arrows looks like Muelhausen to me. See below for a link with similar imagery. although not a perfect match: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=8873186 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

arok Valued Member Canada 53 Posts	Posted 03/15/2026 11:57 am My 2 cents: This type of crown sometimes appears on Hungarian coins. However, I don't think it is makes it necessarily Hungarian just on this ground. Nevertheless, the crown itself suggests that the issuing authority has some kind of a royal claim.
