Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 09/15/2017 9:40 pm Maybe, but @Baltas' coin sure looks a lot like my uniface pfennig from the German Bishopric of Wurzburg. This coin was minted between 1466 and 1495 AD and is attributed as Ehwald #5802 and Silg. Pil. #878. Your coin has a slightly different mongram (e.g. my letter N is backwards), but hopefully this is a good place to get you started.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7939 Posts	Posted 05/11/2020 10:05 pm It looks like the same monogram, but I am puzzled by not finding any reference to a large coin like this bearing this monogram. As far as I can tell, it is only on small denominations (pfennig), but @TFM's coin is 3g and 24 mm. From 6:00 (where there appears to be the only punctuation?) I am reading something like S E D V ? M O n G E O R B O V E a O n E. Maybe some of those are wrong, but I wonder if it could be a later token imitating this style of monoogram? Most larger Wurzburg coins have a reverse with an image of St. Kilian in bishop's attire and legend SANCTVS KILIANVS or an abbreviation thereof. Regardless, a very interesting piece Report this Post to the Staff
