Ignas New Member Lithuania 7 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 06:01 am Hello everybody! I just got two coins that I'm not sure about their origin. They seem to made out of copper and/or bronze. They could be tokens also. One of them is quite 'dead' the other one is still readable it seems to have a boat one one side and a man holding and ox above his head. Well I'm going to attach the pictures so you could see it better for yourself. Thank you for you help. Regards, Ignas B. Report this Post to the Staff

alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 08:01 am They are both Nuremberg jettons/rechenpennigen. The first is a Post Medieval allegorical jetton issued in Nuremberg c. AD 1619-1651 by Wolf Lauffer II. . Obverse: A mast with a billowing sail mounted on the shell of a tortoise legend: FESTINA LENTE WOLF LAVFER RECH PF[E] Reverse: Hercules carrying the Cretan Bull on his shoulders legend: ASSIDIVIDATE ET TOLERANTIA The second looks to be an Orb & Rose type, but it's too far gone to really tell much.
