Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 11/05/2014 6:32 pm From the image on the obverse it looks like an issue by an (arch-) bishopric (or monastery or abbey). Unfortunately cannot make out the first char after the "+" on the reverse which seems to be followed by "ANCTA", perhaps Sancta fallowed by the name of a female saint - but this is pure guess work, don't want to lead you in a wrong direction.

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 11/05/2014 9:30 pm Good find 'platinrubel' So, not the name of a female saint but rather the "Heilige Koeln" (Holy Cologne) as the city which first industrialised the manufacture of perfum was known in the middle ages.
