I can read OLU, then possibly N or V. There seems to be an L in the field. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7956 Posts	Posted 10/02/2019 9:04 pm Poland. Solidus of Sigismund III 1618. Give me a minute and I'll figure out more. Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7956 Posts	Posted 10/02/2019 9:21 pm 1618 Solidus (schilling) Lithuania under Sigismund III. Here is a link to the WCN archive for this type and date. Even in very high grade these are not super valuable, but nice collectible coins. Cena is price in PLN, with recent exchange rate about 3.5 to the $US. https://wcn.pl/archive?q=polska+szel%C4%85g+1618 Edited by tdziemia 10/02/2019 9:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2134 Posts	Posted 10/03/2019 9:01 pm Thanks to both of you. I hadn't realised there were so many varieties. I think the obverse has the arms of Riga but the letters after SOLIDUS certainly are not either CIV or RIG. I'm torn between thinking they are OL or SIG and that seems impossible.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7956 Posts	Posted 10/03/2019 9:52 pm The type with the date 1 8 on either side of the monogram obverse is the Lithuanian shilling. So the reverse legend is SOLIDVS M D LIT, though most of LIT is off flan (solidus of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania). Report this Post to the Staff
