Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 06/15/2020 5:40 pm Maybe this solidus was issued by Sigi III?

JBL Valued Member United Kingdom 289 Posts	Posted 06/16/2020 02:43 am Thanks all, that's really appreciated. One question, what does the "kop" reference refer to ? I have tried Google but no joy, presumably a reference to something from Krause ? Cheers Brian Report this Post to the Staff

For only 1616 and some of the 1615 types the entire date is shown split by the crowned S monogram. In the OPs coin the 16 to the left of the S is weak, but can be seen, and the 16 to the right is a bit stronger (and nearly off the planchet). Report this Post to the Staff
