InconsistentBlend Valued Member Poland 59 Posts	Posted 01/21/2016 1:04 pm Whoa, that was not easy. I was looking in search of this coat of arms. For an expert that's probably an easy ID, but I like to know more. So...it's 28 stuivers from Zwolle, Netherlands, you can see one here - https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...4-duid-78004 Report this Post to the Staff

bjherbison Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 01/21/2016 7:14 pm Thank you, InconsistentBlend! It's interesting that the ND version is reported to be "ND (1650-1665)" when the coin says Matthias. The dated versions start at the end of the reign of Matthias and go for a few years after. I see similar disconnects between Holy Roman Emperor legends and dates from other Zwolle coins. Report this Post to the Staff
