dooly Valued Member United Kingdom 348 Posts	Posted 12/27/2013 08:35 am Hammered picked up before the weather came crashing in not 100% sure as to ID at moment possible castle MM and is 0.55g so could be 3rd issue 1561-1577.. what do you think Report this Post to the Staff

Tom Goodheart Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 856 Posts	Posted 12/27/2013 08:43 am Cool! But I think you're mistaking the E for a mint mark. (I think the legend reads E. DG. ROSA SINE SPINA). Looks more like a martlet (the heraldic name for a swallow or martin) to me. Compare it with this from a dealer's site: S 2558 2nd issue 1560-61?

Tom Goodheart Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 856 Posts	Posted 12/27/2013 09:03 am Fine for me with the reverse a little better. However the fact that it's centrally struck and on a reasonable size flan with a fair amount of legend visible is a bonus. They so often aren't. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 12/28/2013 12:37 am So a martin is a bird, and a marten is a small furry thing featured on Croatian currency... and both animals have coins named after them! Confusing. Report this Post to the Staff
