<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lehmansterms, post: 2697910, member: 80804&quot;]It&#039;s from Lithuania - Sigismund (&quot;II - of Luxembourg&quot; - I think - as King of Poland, Grand Duke of Lithuania) Although I hate to suggest it, this coin doesn&#039;t quite look right - the detail and relief seems too high for a coin of the era.&nbsp; Most likely struck with roller-dies, the technique produces nice smooth edges, but didn&#039;t typically impart much relief to thinner coins.</p><p>I&#039;m by no means any expert, however.&nbsp; Perhaps someone else here could weigh-in with an opinion on whether this looks &quot;right&quot; for the mid 16th century?</p><p>I have a similar piece ND, ca. 1492-1506, for Alexander I with a lot less detail in the relief portions - although that one might be hand-struck, half a century earlier. Hopefully someone here knows more about this class of coin.</p><p>I could photograph my piece if it&#039;s of interest to anyone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
