Spence Moderator United States 34398 Posts	Posted 04/03/2021 11:43 am @dar, this uniface Brakteat is almost certainly from medieval Germany. I'm not finding an exact match on numista, although this one from Zittau is kinda close if you rotate your top pic about 180 degrees. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces109744.html "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

I was thinking if you rotate the second photo 180, then instead of a letter m you have something close to the shield on Teutonic Order bracteates (but missing the crossbar): https://onebid.pl/en/coins-zakon-kr...nikow/715467 Silesian and Polish bracteates with a single letter are known (T and P in Silesia, S in Mazovia), but I could not find an M.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7939 Posts	Posted 04/03/2021 1:00 pm OK, I spoke too soon. There IS a Silesian bracteate with a letter M, though I am not quite sure it is a fit (the Gothic "angles" on the M in the link do not match the smooth curves on the OP coin) https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=6725685 Edited by tdziemia 04/03/2021 1:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
