oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5246 Posts	Posted 11/12/2017 7:40 pm This weighs 2.26 grams. The diameter is 28 millimeters. I am not even sure of the correct orientation of this item. The letter style seems more medieval , but I am not sure. I can make out the word "rex" on one side, but I am struggling. Edited by oriole 11/12/2017 7:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5177 Posts	Posted 11/12/2017 10:48 pm Looks like a Prague groschen of either Wenceslas II (1278-1305) or, much more likely, Wladislaw II (1471-1516). I'd never seen one of those worn so unevenly though! Maybe it was just that badly struck? Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 11/13/2017 08:32 am I've never seen a pragergroschen this worn. The BO of BOHEMIE and the EI of DEI are readable. The reverse lion is completely obliterated. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague_groschen "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."
