Glad to help the cause @giedrius! For today, I have another one:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

jeton Original: Medal in honor of the marriage of Mary of Burgundy and Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I  This one : Probably Nuremberg mint of about 1520 Edge lettering has no real meaning Coin community, Philadelphian: The shield on the reverse carries a crude representation of the arms of Burgundy. In this form, the arms were borne by Philip the Good and Charles the Bold, but the left half of the obverse figure would appear to be half of the Habsburg double-headed eagle. These two families were joined when Charles' daughter, Mary of Burgundy, married the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. So it's Mary's arms on the reverse, and the obverse represents the union of the Habsburg eagle and the lion of Flanders. A Low Countries jeton of 1477 commemorates their marriage negotiations in this way: Your jeton's legends don't read this way, though. In fact, they don't read in any particular way at all. They appear to be "fictitious legends," typical of the Nuremberg jet-makers or the late 15th and early 16th centuries. I found at least one Dutch forum thread referring to being many of these copies of the original 1477 jet, believed to have been made into the 1520s, with the fictitious legend suggesting a Nuremberg source.  |

I will make it three in a row. @spence, probably giedrius will add comments, too, but yours and mine have spelling MONTEA instead of MONETA. We also mote that the lettering has changed to gothic, especially notable with the M and N.   Edited by tdziemia
