Navarre-Bearn 1 Franc 1582: I meant to comment earlier on that interesting coat of arms with a very busy left side and nearly empty right!. 1580 Lithuanian 3 groschen.   The coins I've been posting with Stefan Bathory's portrait are a bit tyricky to assign to a country. At this time (1580s) the kingdom of Poland and the grand duchy of Lithuania were joined together as the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Livonia was also a fief of the PLC. The legends on the coin's reverse identify them to use in one of the three places (Poland, Lithuania or Livonia). |

inventory numbers I agree--one or two of mine have similar ink marks. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

In the past (like before 1900) collectors used to write their inventory numbers on the coin just like that. Almost looks like it's not on the coin. but that makes sense.  |
