<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1089932, member: 39&quot;]Nice piece, yes. That animal is a bear, although it may be a little hard to recognize. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Here is another piece (not mine) which basically shows the same CoA: <a href="http://ma-shops.com/pollandt/pic/artid10285_combined.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ma-shops.com/pollandt/pic/artid10285_combined.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://ma-shops.com/pollandt/pic/artid10285_combined.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Until a few years ago, the Landkreis (county or district) of Bernburg had the same CoA: <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Wappen_Landkreis_Bernburg.png" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Wappen_Landkreis_Bernburg.png" rel="nofollow">http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Wappen_Landkreis_Bernburg.png</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Then, in 2007, it became part of the newly established (and bigger) county named Salzlandkreis, which still uses the bear on the wall as one of several CoA elements: <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Wappen_Salzlandkreis.svg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Wappen_Salzlandkreis.svg" rel="nofollow">http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Wappen_Salzlandkreis.svg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The FABLM on the other side means &quot;Fürstlich Anhalt-Bernburgische Land-Münze&quot;. The last word, Landmünze, usually indicates smaller denominations which could only be used in the issuing country. The higher denominations were, at least to some extent, usable elsewhere too ...</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, maybe the topic should be renamed. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
