TomGoodheart Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Maybe mediaeval German states pfennig. Lemme do a bit of research ..Crikey, TG!!! Having said that, now you've said German, is that an eagle rotated on the right-hand image? I believe it's a shield with diagonal bars. The other side looks like a cross within a shield. The problem is that many city states across Europe produced similar small coins. If you recognise the Arms of the shield, it makes it quicker. Sadly I don't! So it's a matter of thumbing through some auction catalogues in the hope of finding a match or something close enough to then google further! Quote

davidrj Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) being double struck doesn't help, but just had a suggestion by andyg on CCF, http://www.icollector.com/Hall-in-S...0s_i14157642Looks a good bet to me - German - Hall-in-Swabia hand pfennig 1300sReally love this interwebby thing, remember when we spent hours in fruitless library searches Edited January 24, 2014 by davidrj Quote
TomGoodheart Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) I think that's it!!! I started drawing this: You can see the similarity between the cross. And the double striking accounts for the hand becoming diagonals on a shield. Well done Andy! Edited January 24, 2014 by TomGoodheart Quote
