Haven't been able to pin-down your particular example but you might find this link helpful:- https://www.fortresscatalogue.com/i...pe&new_val=1 Hope it helps. Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7948 Posts	Posted 03/21/2018 5:25 pm Not sure that's a Polish eagle. The wings tend to curve upward toward the tips. @spence has commented a bit on those eagles elsewhere, so I guess he will chime in too. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 03/21/2018 9:15 pm Ron, here is the CCF thread talking about the position of the eagle's wings as a determinant of minting authority: http://goccf.com/t/308457 I agree with @tdziemia that these wings don't slope the way that I would expect. Any chance of you PMing me larger pics so that I can really blow up the rev image and maybe figure out what you've got? Will be good weekend work, but I'll post my thoughts here when I have a better idea. In the meanwhile, it wouldn't surprise me if either @BobL or @giedrius figures it out for you.
