Maybe anyone could tell which of these coins are real and minted in Riga, and which were forged in Suceava ?
I looked at the map; Riga's over 1000km from Suceava. This sounds like an interesting story, tell us more, beyond the coins.
Here is short excerpt from numismatic book about romanian coins: 1662 – 1665: Eustratie Dabija (1661-1665) issues copper coin with face value of one shilling weighing 0.60 g; coins were issued at the Mint opened in Suceava in 1662. Concomitantly, the Mint counterfeits large amounts of Swedish, Polish, Lithuanian, Prussian shillings and shillings circulating in Riga and Elbing cities. The Mint will continue to counterfeit foreign coins under Gheorghe Duca (1665-1666, 1668-1672) and Iliaş Alexandru (1666-1668).
