How much is this coin? What would be the price of this coin and what coin it is? I had it almost 10 years now and i havent got any answers whatsoever Lightweight (dont know the real weight rn) Diameter is 1,8cm
I believe this is what you have. 1535 Livonian Confederation, One Schilling .1875 silver https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces140216.html
The crosses keys are a symbol of the city of Riga, Latvia, right? I got this "Polish" solidus a while ago and had a hard time finding it in the book. Turns out is was from Polish-occupied Livonia, 1612 So I agree with Bradley Trotter. There are many different versions of the text on the perimeter in this era, so if the text doesn't exactly match the picture in Numista that's not necessarily cause for concern.
Nicely done, @Bradley Trotter. “Eastern European, late medieval” was all I was prepared to venture, since I had a hard time squinting at the pictures on my phone. The crossed-keys motif was puzzling to me, oriented the way it is in the pictures, but now that you’ve provided the Numista comparison, it’s clearer.
What's more important? What the coin is or it's value? First find out what it is. Worry about value afterwards. Nobody has given you the value yet so I assume it's nothing major.
If @Bradley Trotter's attribution is correct, as I suspect it is, here are some eBay comparisons. Were I to speculatively pull a number out of thin air for this coin, based on its appearance, I would guess $20-25-ish. Take that for the wild guess it is.
Yes this is the coin the one or two in numista but i dont reconize which one of those, thank you! Do you know more about that coin?
