If you search around for jettons and Nuremburg you'll find many examples. Michael Mitchiner did quite a good reference book for these but there are many many varities. The last one I think is one of those medieval German pfenigs - but I'm not sure which city it's from.

Sap Moderator Australia 16836 Posts	Posted 01/14/2012 03:57 am #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6 are not coins, but jetons - counting-tokens, most of which were made in Nuremberg, Germany. #5 and #7 are actual coins. I can't quite pick #5, and number 7 is an early German-style bracteate pfennig. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
