tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7970 Posts	Posted 09/26/2019 06:02 am @giljan, that is a very nice set of 1/2 groschen coins! And nice to see another denomination from this part of the world (denar); I think there are a few more of these coming in the 1550s.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7970 Posts	Posted 09/26/2019 8:24 pm @spence and @pepactonius: what is the symbol on the obverse of those Brandenburg coins? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34457 Posts	Posted 09/26/2019 8:55 pm Quote: what is the symbol on the obverse of those Brandenburg coins Oddly enough it is a scepter. Here is a link to a coin on numista which shows this object much more clearly: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces109658.html Even with that said, the shaft part of the scepter seems unusually short on our coins, unless this is actually some sort of medieval equivalent to brass knuckles. Here is a link to a Thaler which seems to show more normal proportions, but the same Corinthian distal end: https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...-duid-391619 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
