Citizen H Posted April 18 Posted April 18 I feel a bit more clued in with what's not British coins since being here, back in the days this was just considered like all the others and I beleved it was a groat...... and I didn't have the free time to be able to look into the coins. So Far........ it has a double headed Eagle and I can make out, MONE . NO . LVH on the reverse Cross on orb containing value 192 ? I found a similar coin that's a "Polker" and so could be possibly Polish? 10mm across if enough of the coin remains, any help (as always) greatly appreciated. Quote
Citizen H Posted April 22 Author Posted April 22 no real updates, this came in recently from another coin dealer who had similar..... good afternoon, this is an old coin of the Austrian Empire or its satellites, I think it is rare, you need to look for it in catalogues, Best regards, Alex, Quote
Citizen H Posted April 23 Author Posted April 23 still a bit vague however its been Identified as ........ It is a coin of one of the German imperial cities from the 16th–17th c. Quote
Paddy Posted April 23 Posted April 23 I am frustrated by this one! I am sure I have seen the likes before, but exhaustive searches in Numista have yet to hit a match. I believe it is Eastern European, including Poland, Livonia, Austria, Hungary, Bohemia and Eastern Germany. The word "Moneta" meaning money is legible. I suspect the 92 or 192 signifies 1/92nd or 1/192nd of some higher denomination. Both the double headed Eagle and the Orb appear on many coins from across that area. Date probably between about 800 to 1700 AD, which is rather a long range. Quote

Hello Paddy...... laughingly this was probably why no one else picked it up as it was unrecognisable....I thought I was onto something as I saw a Polish Polker coin that looked similar..... one things for sure... my hoard is eclectic......enjoy. ☺️👍 Quote
Citizen H Posted May 14 Author Posted May 14 so I got to speak with a coin curator at a museum. Ive been told....... “It is a coin of the city of Lubeck, 1667, in the Holy Roman Empire. The free cities often used the imperial eagle symbol of the emperor on their coins. The '192' indicates it as a 192th part of a thaler, so a small denomination.” Gosh! it amazing that it was being able to date... 🙏 Quote
