It is from the County of Rietberg, a 1 mattier (half-mariengroschen) of 1706. The picture of the type on the NGC database page isn't that great, but it's good enough to confirm the identity. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5181 Posts	Posted 02/19/2026 1:01 pm I knew that a "mattier" was a German states denomination but a pretty scarce one; after several false starts, I searched for "mattier coin 1706", and the second result was [the Dutch-language version of] this MA Shops entry. It turns out that the mintmaster initials are not KLO but HLO (for Heinrich Lorenz Odendahl), which explains why the initial searches didn't work! Report this Post to the Staff
