With that said, I'm not seeing this coin under either location in my Neuer HMZ reference book. I'm going to need to do some more digging...

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7934 Posts	Posted 07/09/2023 8:28 pm I think these are all from late medieval Livonia (close to validating my first hunch). For this one, the main design details are close to this coin: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces133331.html Maybe an exact match.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7934 Posts	Posted 07/10/2023 9:12 pm @Interestedfellow, this coin is a slightly better match: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=11039506 This was a time when the script style was gradually changing from uncial to a more modern style in this part of Europe. Your coin has an uncial M (beginning of the legend in the second photo), whereas the first link I provided is a variant with a modern M. So your coin is properly attributed as Archbishopric of Riga and Livonian Order, schilling (1500-1509), Haljak 383 Report this Post to the Staff
