Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 07/11/2016 8:19 pm First and fourth pics are of a Thaler from the German Countship of Mansfeld-Schraplau. The three dated varieties are 1566, 1570, and 1571 but they also made them without dates (as yours appears to be). Really nice coin and worth several hundred dollars (assuming it is real). I don't see anything that is a red flag on this one with respect to real vs. fake, but you still need to be careful.

However, I am very confused by the last three letters in the rev inscription: BEN (with the letter N backwards). This is unlike anything that I can find on his Polish, Prussian, or Lithuanian coins.

This is unlike anything that I can find on his Polish, Prussian, or Lithuanian coins. It's probably intended to be GEN, as in CIVI RIGEN[SIS] (i.e. "of the city of Riga"). Did you check Riga coins? And just for the record, no, I don't know why the N is backwards either. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 07/11/2016 9:16 pm @january1may, you nailed it--nice work! The coin is from Riga, and the N should be backwards. Also, the funny looking B is actually a G. @smokey21, your coin is a 3 groschen from Riga dated 1582 (the 2 looks like a Z). The attribution is Kopicki #8091.
