These were literally struck out of multiple pages of church missals/hymnals when all metals ran out during the siege. So, it is actually made out of religious texts/books.

casualcoincollector Pillar of the Community United States 574 Posts	Posted 03/26/2018 02:49 am @1c5d7n5m Thanks for the info on the counterstamp! Yeah, it is one of the better condition ones that I have seen. I had been looking for one of these for quite a while and was finally able to pick up this one at auction last month. Currently it is at PCGS for certification. I am pretty curious to see what they grade it as but regardless of the grade I am mostly getting it certified and encapsulated for its protection.

Spence Moderator United States 34456 Posts	Posted 03/26/2018 8:38 pm Thanks for sharing that @CCC--it is in absolutely amazing shape for being made from 16th century paper! Here is a groschen from the German Free City of Hildesheim dated (15)74 AD. It is attributed as Saurma 4040.

Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 03/28/2018 12:32 am The Free City of Riga did not make any coins with the date of 1573, but they did make a lot in 1572. This is the one in my date set: 1572 is probably the third most common date of this type. Report this Post to the Staff
