Sap Moderator Australia 16842 Posts	Posted 09/04/2010 11:51 am It's a "plus ultra" ship rechenpfennig, or Nuremberg jeton. I understand these "plus ultra" designs are very late in the series, late 19th to early 20th century. As they're not actual coins, you won't find them in Krause. This website has two of the same basic design, ship / sun-moon-stars, one by the Lauer family (#26) and one un-named (#21). I haven't heard of this particular jeton-maker before (Johann Jakob Habelt), but his "ship" is even more crudely rendered than normal. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
