aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 03/07/2016 12:11 am Possibly 17th century Poland. Your coin, while not identical, has a resemblance to the coin shown on this link. The obverse has a (crowned) shield and the reverse an orb. https://finds.org.uk/database/artef...rd/id/713381 Would be interested to learn other opinions. Report this Post to the Staff
InconsistentBlend Valued Member Poland 59 Posts	Posted 03/07/2016 05:12 am Sigismund III Vasa 1625, dreipolker, looks like Bydgoszcz mint, although looks pretty weird because I can't find any of these that have Z-5 (if I see good) for the date. There are 2-5 and Z-6/Z-7(1626/27)also there should be Z4/24 in the 'apple' but I can see only 4. Bit weird. I don't think it's a fake because they are pretty cheap. Is it possible to make better, sharper photos? Report this Post to the Staff

Both pictures are upside down. ~~The centershield is the arms of the Wasa dinasty (sheaf of grain)~~(not correct) Under the shield is propably a 3, making it 3 polker Or 1/24 thaler (as the 24 says on the orb) The coin is from Georg Wilhelm (GE.WIL....), datet (16)25 I think you will find all you need here: http://en.numista.com/forum/topic29824.html edit: I knew I had seen it a couple of days ago....: https://goccf.com/t/255274 Edited by Petrus 03/07/2016 5:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
