I have tracked this to late 1400's and something very similar is listed in both my book by Robert Levinson and http://medievalcoinage.com/earlydated/1496s.htm as a zingrochen from Saxony. However while the centers are pretty much a match, the edges are not. That is concerning but with so many varieties, I still hold out hope. So, can you tell me: did the chump get skunked?

I realized that still does not mean it is authentic. I also see it spelled zinsgroschen - can anyone tell me which is correct? Edited by CoinsKelly 09/12/2013 11:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 05:55 am I updated the title since it does have a s after zin. I now believe this is a dateless zinsgroschen, if anyone could confirm that I would appreciate that. EDIT: final link, now I am truly stumped. I think is may be one of these and am looking for clarification: http://www.medievalcoinage.com/saur...r/d/d215.htm Edited by CoinsKelly 09/13/2013 09:49 am Report this Post to the Staff
