Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 01/14/2022 11:41 am This small billon or silver coin is the size of a solidus or schilling. I have been unable to find the exact type in KM or Numista. can you help, please? The crowned reverse reads SIG III D G REX POL MDI the weight is 0.83 grams if you're wondering why the two sides look a different colour, it's because I can't use the Magnifier app properly. I found a YouTube video explaining how to use it but the controls seem to be for a different version. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Pertinax 01/14/2022 12:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 01/14/2022 12:43 pm I sold off all my old coins of Europe, but might point you in one right direction. Sigis III D.G. Rex Poloniae Magnus Dux Livon. Russ.Prusiae Grand Duke of Livonia, Russia, Prussia (Poland). KM has not been good for illustrating minors, they usually cataloged the larger silver coins. Davenport could list it. Sorry, but really no help. Just been out of old Europe coinage for many years. Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7942 Posts	Posted 01/15/2022 7:28 pm @bart got it in numista. Krause is just horrible for Poland in this era, and this one is a good example. It is this listing, which has a correct description but the wrong photo: https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1545139 Edited by tdziemia 01/15/2022 7:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
