january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5186 Posts	Posted 05/11/2021 10:47 am Wow, that eye. And head. He almost looks kinda alien. How do you know it's from Krosno? It doesn't seem to be stated on the coin anywhere. Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7993 Posts	Posted 05/11/2021 4:17 pm Quote: Wow, that eye. Yeah, it definitely caught my attention. Quote: How do you know it's from Krosno? I'd love to say I was smart enough to ID it, but that would be a lie. The attribution was made by the seller. It was an unusual part of Silesia which was under a Margrave of Brandenburg (John), rather than the King of Bohemia. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces122336.html Edit: I can see why you asked ... There is a nearly identical coin issued in Brandenburg-Kustrin. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces127920.html Maybe the coin was minted for use in both places?

Spence Moderator United States 34504 Posts	Posted 05/12/2021 9:13 pm He does look a bit like an alien. For today, I have another Hungarian Denar. This one is dated 1543 AD: "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
Spence Moderator United States 34504 Posts	Posted 05/13/2021 07:21 am Here is my own Groschen from the German Duchy of Silesia-Liegnitz-Brieg dated 1542 AD: "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

Spence Moderator United States 34504 Posts	Posted 05/13/2021 12:27 pm Great condition on that @tdz! I've also got a Livonian Shilling dated 1542 AD to post for today. It is pretty beat up, but at least in hand the legends of "MONE REVALIE 4Z" and "LIV ONI MA CIS" are mostly visible.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7993 Posts	Posted 05/13/2021 10:11 pm That Livonian coin reminds us that we are approaching a more "medieval look" to the coins (i.e. crosses of some kind on one side or even both). Travelling early tomorrow, so I am going to cheat by a couple of hours ... 1541 groschen of the Margravate of Brandenburg Edited by tdziemia 05/13/2021 10:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
