This is my only example, I believe. Surprisingly, it seems to be only the second coin posted from Baden. 1859 Baden 1 Kreuzer:   In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

Saxe-Meissen coin of 1475- can you find the date? I can! And it's quite a nice coin too. You should probably post it in the pre-1500 European dated coins thread - it would fit very well in there. And if the How Far Back Can We Go series ever get past their 1491 roadbloack and reach 1475... but that doesn't seem very likely.

And I'm running out of German state coins I have pics for, so here's an Austrian state one...  Archbishopric of Salzburg, Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg, 1521 uniface pfennig. Photographed for the original How Far Back Can We Go, this coin had then successfully appeared in the Second Edition and the Third Edition. (Also in Alphabetic Ancients, and in several other threads.) Of course the Fourth Edition isn't due to reach that far for about a year. I also have a ready photo of a coin from a Dutch city right next to the German border, and several unoptimized photos of other German state coins. Plus Bohemia, Lithuania, Livonia and Riga. Everything else will have to wait until I actually take a picture (there's a nice well-circulated Münster AE that will probably be the first in that line). (Also, we can post umlauted characters again! Hurray! It wasn't possible for a while.) |

Here's a group I cherrypicked out of a "cull" bin a year ago for less than a dollar apiece.   Colligo ergo sum

If I may be humored here, here's one I picked up earlier today. Apparently it was once nailed up (the handmade nails of this period typically exhibit a square cross-section).   The hole highlights that there's about a 40° variance from medal alignment between the obverse and reverse. Colligo ergo sum
