I have a feeling this is a Swedish coin, but I'm unable to find it in my catalog. Might be Norwegian or Danish I suppose. Actually, the sheep with flag, is on our flags on my island in Sweden, however I didn't find a match for the medieval coins from here and with this one.

I am not certain here, but sheep with a flag is a motiv that has been used in Nuremberg, a German State. So I think both coins are German.

DCH, The first coin is from Wisby, which means it really was my island! I totally forgot my history... The island I live on was Danish for a while.. That's why I didn't find anything to match this coin with in my Swedish catalog. Thanks a lot. I'll keep this one for sure! A local coin from ~1536! Could be 1535, hard to tell.

Didn't find any Stolberg-Ortenberg in my 1600-Krause, if the coin should be from 1614.. However I've been at medievalcoinage before and I trust it.

Thanks a lot!
