Hungary Denar 1530 for me--with a chipped edge that makes this coin less round:

I've got a coin for today with a crown on one side and an eagle on the other, but mine's also got a big ol' letter S too (1529 Prussia Solidus):

Not to mention the eagle is armed

I've got that combative eagle on the same type for 1528:

If I'm not mistaken, this is the earliest date on coins from the Torun mint.

1526 was the first year for the Polish groschen/grosz that giljan and I have been showing. This one's not as nice as the last two he posted.
