Here is what I believe to be the best match on numista, but this is def in @tdz's wheelhouse. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces197763.html "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 Report this Post to the Staff

Here is what I believe to be the best match on numista, but this is def in @tdz's wheelhouse. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces197763.html This type was struck at 5 mints, but only Wschowa (mint mark F) and Poznan (P) have the mint mark left of the small lion shield reverse. Here is the Poznan version: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces97329.html Though the area of the mint mark is worn on yours, the F looks more likely, and the bust styles are slightly different, so I agree Wschowa/Fraustadt looks like the best match. Too bad Siggy took a hole in the head, but nice historic coin! Edited by tdziemia 11/28/2024 11:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
