    What's something like this worth? Could not find one on eBay. That's a cool coin.

    Nice. What's in the sky, is that supposed to represent something?

    I believe it's Jehovah in Hebrew.

    Beautiful coin. Looks like something Zohar would have.

    Agreed. Cannot read that myself, but it can be found on many coins from those years. The latter also applies to the motto above (Sub umbra alarum tuarum; from a psalm - Under the shadow of your wings). Künker just auctioned a Hamburg piece with the same motto/Jehova/city view combination; image link only as is it kind of OT here. Of course that is not the kind of money that people would use in regular transactions. ;)

    This is why I love this forum. I get to see coins that I would never see otherwise.
