Very interesting the symbol on the obverse @panzerman do you know if it stands for the eye of God or for Masons?

 

A little early as I am busy tonight
Salute with your glasses of something sparkly, say sayonara to another Thanksgiving. Supplement the special occasion by selecting some shiny, spherical objects showing deities connected to successful harvests. Maybe Seleucid to Spanish or Sullas to Sols is more your style. Share your spectacular or even sub-par silvers or silvered specimens of S

These three are from the Styria Duchy

I think its the "Eye of God". Many coins from German States/ Poland/ Holy Roman Empire have this feature.

 

Always learning something new, Thank you

 

Sigismund of Luxemburg

1 Forint
Sigismund’s gold forints fall into two groups: early issues (1387 – 1401) bear a royal coat of arms quartering the horizontal stripes of the Hungary shield with the German eagle, later issues (1402 – 1437) quartering the stripes of Hungary with the lion of Bohemia.

20 mm, 3.520 g
Körmöcbánya (Kremnitz), not dated, struck between 1387 – 1389; no mintmark; Monogram G = Royal Treasurer Jakcs György.

A royal treasurer was a person responsible for the income, at least for some type of income, of the kingdom. This position was held by those who were in charge of the royal and imperial mines; the supreme authority of the Hungarian mining towns is still called this way.
Pohl D1-1; HMC (Lengyel) 17/7; Unger (ÉH) II 445a; Huszár 572; Frynas H.27.1;

The best reference for attributing Hungarian gold coins are Pohl and Lengyel (300 pages only for gold). Lengyel number 17 has the Brandenburg eagle in the second and third shields without a mintmark.

Ob.: +SIGISMVNDI•D•G•R•VnGARIE Fourfold shield of Hungary and Bohemia with Árpád stripes twice and Brandenburg eagles twice in inner pearl circle
Rv.: S• LADIS LAVS•REX Saint King László of Hungary crowned and with glory standing with light helbard and orb; monogram G at right

The eagle on the lower left seems to be peeking out of the last Árpád stripe above - or it is trying to hang itself
