<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lehmansterms, post: 8182868, member: 80804&quot;]acsearch is my go-to for medievals. There are lots of more specialized references - many are not in English - which you might consult, but for basic stuff, ID&#039;ing, &quot;completing&quot; fragmentary legends, etc. acsearch is invaluable.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t look at it closely, but your Ort (1/6 Thaler) from Gdansk (Danzig) for Sigismund III (of Luxembourg) is almost identical to the first medieval piece&nbsp; I ever bought for myself. That was some few decades ago. I sold the original one at one point, but have replaced it with several similar but not exactly the same. &quot;Poland&quot; at that time was complicated politically and similar types were issued for the various different divisions.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS - you may find that some do not consider coins as late as 1624 to be strictly &quot;medieval&quot; - 1500, being soon after the fall of Constantinople and (for what it&#039;s worth) Columbus&#039; voyages of colonial imperialism is often cited as the &quot;official&quot; end of the middle ages.</p><p>Some say it&#039;s Gutenberg&#039;s use of movable type in the 1440&#039;s that is a better marker for the beginning of the Age of Reason aka &quot;The Renaissance&quot;, but generally 17th century pieces are considered &quot;early modern&quot;, particularly if they&#039;re milled rather than hand-struck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
