For 1455, I have this Delhi Sultans tanka, which is dated AH (8)59. The 5 and 9 are quite worn, but discernable at 6k on the left image.  The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

This French Gros de roi was minted in Montpelier as part of the second emission beginning in June 1455 AD. I have attributed it as Duplessy 518a.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Thx for the kind words. The edge shaving/off-center strike is a bit of a shame, but I agree that the remaining detail is really great.

This Schilling from the German Bishopric of Würzburg is datable to the year 1454 AD. It has a great view of St. Killian on the reverse and was attributed as Ehwald 5607.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Nice!
Though I can't tell if Kilian is watching over us or staring at us.

Yes! I can feel the judgement just pouring out from those squinted eyes.

I landed this Florence "grosso guelfo" recently (not yet in hand), and it was advertised as 1453, but I need to check the mint master's mark to be sure:  |

Looking good! The Sixth has hit a stop. The Seventh need to narrow the gap.  |
