ramgu2005 New Member Brazil 31 Posts	Posted 10/29/2016 6:01 pm Hello guys, I need help to ID this one. I think I found one similar 2 Albus KM44 from Cologne but this one is 1653, not listed on Krause, anyone has the German Catalog (Schon) to help me with this one? Thanks all!!

Spence Moderator United States 34521 Posts	Posted 10/29/2016 7:37 pm @ramgu2005, is your coin 16 or 17 mm in diameter? If so, then I think that it is an 8 Heller (4 Pfennig) rather than a 2 Albus (which should be more like 20 mm in diameter). The obv (your second pic, but needs to be rotated clockwise about 60°) has the inscription MAXIM HENR DG ARCH and the rev has the inscription COLON PR ELECT BD. I would attribute your coin as KM #42.

Spence Moderator United States 34521 Posts	Posted 10/29/2016 8:08 pm No prob. The coins of the German states come in about a million different denominations so it can be hard to figure out what you've got. Yours is a nice coin!
