Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 6:35 pm can you take the pictures without the plastic. The side with the cross, I think I can see MONE (Moneta) and ...BURG That should indicate where the coin is from The other side should reveal the ruler and thus the age of the coin. The writing says that is medieval Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 10:18 pm The plain cross: the arms of the Teutonic Order. The eagle inescutcheon on the ornate cross: the arms of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order. Following MONETA is DNORUM PRV or DOMI PRV, for Moneta Dominorum Prussiae, the Order's mint. The other legend is the name of the Grand Master ("magister"), beginning with MAG (MAGST or MAGIST). The only schilling with a legend ending with QVA, as this does, that I can find, reads MAGST HINRICVS QVA, for Heinrich Reffle von Richtenberg, Grand Master from 1470-77. http://www.medievalcoinage.com/saur...r/1/2663.htm http://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/coi...Default.aspx http://www.mcsearch.info/record.html?id=1191211 Edited by philadelphian 05/09/2014 11:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
