erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 1:26 pm LVDOVICVS IMP - Emperor Louis/Ludwig - not sure which one. THROTMA[NNI?] - Dortmund. Two clues, at least. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 12/30/2022 6:16 pm Maybe it is Ludwig IV (1314-1347)?

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2870 Posts	Posted 12/31/2022 03:10 am Thanks very much for all those pointers. The suggested legend looks spot on. I've trawled through MA-shops, Coin archives, numista and good old Google but no luck. It may need quite a specialised German language reference book to nail it down.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7934 Posts	Posted 12/31/2022 11:02 pm I was thinking this royal image looked much earlier ... https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=731202 And I think the engraver was having a bad day I get VVDOVICVS MIP. Indeed, Numista could benefit from adding this coin (let me know if I can help). Edited by tdziemia 12/31/2022 11:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 01/01/2023 03:22 am A German immobilization of a Frankish coin, of course - that explains the problems with identifying the emperor and the somewhat garbled legend. Great work, @tdziemia! Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2870 Posts	Posted 01/01/2023 10:04 am That's fantastic - thanks very much for that.ID. Yes -Good idea that the image is added to Numista. I've never done that before - but I can have a go.
