My only concern is that on the shield to the left, it also has XX in the bar, which I don't think matches the shield for Austria. Here's the closest I've found so far: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces71674.html https://www.lovecpokladu.cz/en/arti...ennig-80025/ But the shield on the left looks closer to this one from Graz: https://rauch-auctions.bidinside.co...-1527-graz-/ https://www.ma-shops.com/hollandia/....php?id=1962 The Xs appear to be struck, not cut after the fact. So is it Linz or something else? Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/10/2024 4:34 pm The right arms (shield) is that of Upper Austria, the left arms are two pairs of crossed swords (two X's) - Numista claims this is Austria, but that's slightly questionable. It matches the other dates for this issue (there will always be a lot of variation since these were hand-struck and hand-engraved.)
