How Far Back Can We Go? Fourth Edition! Ended At 1461 Waiting On 1460 C. E. (A. H. 864)

Ok thanks @giedrius--I bought your book so you might think that I would be able to attribute these things correctly.

Here is another 1/2 Groschen from Lithuania, but dated 1520 AD. I have it attributed as Kopicki 3158 and let's see if I can do any better with the Huletski number: based on the separate front hooves on the horseman, it looks like a knight #7. The head of the eagle looks kinda round, so at first I was thinking that it is an eagle #11. With the obv legend missing a letter A, then the only possibility would be that it is #74N, although I don't see any evidence of the date being an overdate 15Z0/1500 on my coin. Therefore, I'm now thinking that the regular, even triangles on the eagle's neck means that this is actually an eagle #12. In looking at the consistent use of backwards letter Ns in the legends and space for only two vertical annulets at the end of the rev inscription, I'm thinking that this must be #75A. I do note that the upper annulet is off-flan, but the spacing seem more likely to be two (not 3) annulets. Thoughts?

Great work!

With any luck this will catch up with the third edition by July.

Spence Yes, Your coin is 75A IMHO . And the Eagle is No. 12 with no doubt. I'll upload the image of 11 Eagle by our book.

Ok thanks @giedrius. Here is another Half Groschen from Lithuania dated 1519 AD. This one is knight type #7 since the fronthooves are nicely separated and Eagle type #5 (with the slots on the wings). There are two annulets after the date and all of the letter Ns are facing forwards on the inscriptions, so this looks like a Huletski 61F to me, but I'd love a little confirmation. For those of you who prefer Kopicki, I have it as a #3151.

SpenceYes, this is 61F.
Another one - 1518 Lithuanian half-groat, Knight with scabbard, 6th type, mistake MONTEA instead of MONETA in legend,54B in our book.

SInce I posed the question earlier about the geographic distribution of the Batzen, I think Passau is the easternmost place we have seen. It is also one of several places in the Germanic world who had St. Stephen as its patron saint (upthread we saw two others, Metz and Halberstadt, posted by 1c5d). The legend on the side with the saint's image, SVB TVO PRESIDIO might translate as "under your protection."

@giedrius

I like to better understand in the table under the 1518 Lithuanian half-groat the rarity index that is used
what is a definition for R3 => R7 in terms of a confidence interval for the number of pieces surviving today?

@tdziemia

Passau, Metz, Halberstadt and Nijmegen with its Stevens' church and very nice but also very rare Stephanus daalder

thanks giedrius !
