Very nice @mrw. Here is a similar piece, with slight variation in the inscription:  
"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

Looking good!  Reaching the 15th Century used to be a big deal, but we still have nearly 80 years to catch up with the 6th edition.

Here is a similar piece. There is a bit more remaining detail in places, although the center is still weakly struck:

Back to the Duchy of Brabant for 1498 with another toison d'argent. This was the first coin I ever posted on CCF!

Nice one @tdz. I'll skip over 1498 this time around, but for 1497, I've got this Goldgulden from the German Margraviate of Brandenberg-Franconian. The remaining detail is really quite amazing on this one!
