Well. I dont think that's the same coin.

This is the closest I have come. The side with the cross is simular, but the opposite side looks different.

First, welcome to CCF. Second, that is an interesting find. Was it found in Norway? I agree likely medieval German, but the French also used those same crosses at times. I'm having difficulty figuring out what is on the other side. Does it look like lines of text to you?

Thank you. Yes, it is found in Norway. According to norwegian law it will be delivered to the museum. It can take some time before I get som answer so I was hoping some of you had som information about the coin. I'm not shore if it is letters ore just signs on the back. It is not unlikely that it has been "beaten" up while lying in the ground for so many years.

@Svein Erik, ok yes thanks. I have been looking in Kolbjorn Skaare's "Coins and Coinage in Viking-Age Norway", but have been unable to find your specific coin. A couple notes:

1. It seems that a fairly high percentage of coins have been cut down into halves or quarters, with a few at odd denominations--perhaps 1/3 and 2/3? Many of these clipped coins follow the arms of the cross, but at least one is the same of yours (where the cut was made in between the arms).

2. As might be expected, there have been several German coins found in as part of hoards and ground burials. Of those pictured, the Swabish (from Augsburg) and Bavarian (from Regensburg) have that same cross. Your earlier post is an example of this.

Thanks for posting your find here. Please let us know if the museum is able to provide a more definitive identification.
