Hi

If I'm correct this tiny piece is from the Teutonic Order. It's only 0.2g + 19mm and made of silver. Could someone help me with more details regarding this one - the name of Grand Master or which period is it?

Sweet coin @numi. Here is another link for you to compare with your coin. Your picture is a little out of focus so it is hard to tell if those are two dots, letter "x"s, or something else on the sides of the cross. I note that Kopicki 8986 documents 18 different subvarieties depending on the shape of those design elements.

Yeah, unfortunately I have some problems with getting nice focus when doing photos with my phone.

There are two dots so it seems that your reference is correct, thanks.
I examined this coin closely and it seems that the left part of the cross is 'levitating' as per reference coin :D

Many thanks @jbuck. I've just ordered the LED ring and I will test it. I'm really curious of the result.

@numi, be sure to circle back to this thread if you are able to take nice crisp photos and perhaps we can help you with the exact sub-attribution.

I've tried to make better photos to no avail. Maybe there is a slight improvement nevertheless with this one but I'm not satisfied. I've put this coin on a tube to get the coin higher than the desk's surface and used a timer.

I will try to make some further adjustments and try again

OK, after my holiday finished I found some time to play a bit with the selfie ring.

There is a clear improvement in quality. I think there is hard to imagine getting better photos with this coin's condition though.
