jdambrosio New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 04/03/2011 5:21 pm Greetings. I have another coin in my collection that appears to be hammered. I am wondering if anyone might be able to suggest in regards to origin and date. Thank You, Joe Moved to Exonumia forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

They are also know as counting pieces - though there seems to have been an awful lot of them produced for just that purpose so I suspect they had other uses too - probably even as small change in some areas if there was a shortage. Nuremburg was the main production centre for them though they can be found elsewhere too - generally around Frane / Germany / Netherlands regions. Hope this helps My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Edited by Bacchus2 04/03/2011 6:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
