Here is my Koertling from the German City of Goettingen dated 1490 AD. It is attributed as Levinson I 250a.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

My Corvinus denar. Previous research indicated that it was 1485-90.   |

Not surprisingly, our output for the 1490s dropped from previous decades: 16 coins posted (compared to ~30 for the last three decades). So did the pattern, with German principalities leading (7, or 44%), followed by Low Countries (5, 31%). For what it's worth, the current Kunker auction had 28 early dated coins of Brabant that sold for pretty eyepopping prices yesterday, for those who weren;t following this auction. Only one coin sold below 100 eu, and few coins sold below twice the estimate (but I am not so familiar with whether Kunker tends to have low estimates). For our favorite year, 1487, three coins were auctioned, ranging in hammer price from 450 for a fairly low grade coin to 15,000 euro for this beauty: https://www.kuenker.de/en/auktionen/stueck/191577I had some bids in, but didn;t come close except on one. I guess I will have to re-assess my prospects for increasing my early dated coins of Brabant in the near future. Market seems to be a bit crazy right now. Edited by tdziemia

1489 K-P/Rosette Hungarian Denar under Mattias Corvinus;Huszar 722 var.,Unger 567 var.,Pohl 223 var. This is a variant with the Madonna and child are without glory and as far as I know is not published in the catalogues. The lines going across the face and neck of the Madonna are from the arpadian stripes on the other side.  Edited by EddieDiz

birds a bird on the coat of arms of Hungary - Corvus is the official name of the family of crows / ravens, very interesting ! Matthias Corvinus, "the crow". A very successful leader and king who raised a large mercenary army (the "black army") and defended a virtual European wall against the Ottoman threat that conquered neighboring regions (like Bosnia) in the South crow or three-eyed raven? Matthias brought together one of the largest collections of books of his time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthias_Corvinus 1487Künker auction of the Genaert collection from the southern Netherlands Quote:

Market seems to be a bit crazy right now. Same experience for me: I did not get even close to some rare pieces of the mid 16th century I was interested in. Prices are rising.

Here is another Denar from Hungary that was minted only in 1489 AD. The control marks are K and P over *. The attribution is Frynas H.34.40 and Huszar 722A.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Thanks for the positive comment @jbuck. I hope you will indulge me in posting my other coin minted in 1489 AD. I know that we really aren't supposed to post multiple coins from our collections without someone else getting a turn. This is a Schilling from the German Duchy of Pommerania (Garz mint). It is attributed as Levinson I 243.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Not really a problem when we get down to these early dates where the list of participants is quite short.  Quote:

Schilling from the German Duchy of Pommerania (Garz mint). great coin Spence ! I read your interesting thread about 15th century Pommerania coins with the powerful griffin symbol: striking to see the symbols mature over the decades http://goccf.com/t/261872is the lion on the rev coat of arms walking in the sea? the province of Overijssel, dutch republic has a similar symbol, there the lion is crossing the river IJssel |
