This Half Ortug was minted in Stockholm. Except for the VERY rare
1234 A.D. Roskilde piece, the rest of the Swedish pieces bare the
1478 date with variations.

I had no idea there was a European coin dated 1234 or indeed any date before 1400. You made me scurry to pull out my copy of Levinson to make sure it wasn't a typo ! I see there's a long way for you to go with also Aachen groschen of 1373-5 and Schoonvorst-Sichem (never heard of this lordship) gros of 1372-94. Amazing !

 

@talerman Actually there are 2 different Spanish coins, a denier and an obol
that have the Es Safar date, a calendar system introduced by Augustus Caesar in
38 B.C. The Roman numerals on the coins are MCCIIII. Correcting for the
difference between the two calendar systems actually means that the coins
were minted 1166 A.D. I will send pics of both. The coins from Aachen and
Schoonvorst -Sichem are an interesting story. The 1372 Aachen Groschen has
been lost to the numismatic community either by war or theft, it is no longer
known. The same can be said for the 1373 piece. There are approximately 11-20
collectible pieces for the 1374 Aachen Groschen. These are pieces that are
available to collectors either by auction or price list. They appear once every
2-3 years. I have two pieces differentiated by the vestments (robe) that
Charlemagne is wearing and the position of the Orb he is holding. There are
also varieties regarding the date. There are varieties concerning the date for
the 1375 coins, I only have one. The same holds true for collectable population
and auction/pricelist opportunities.
Now for the Schoonvorst coinage. The 1372 Gros is known by one example,
it is located in a museum. The coinage dated 1390-1394 is almost impossible
to own. The 1391 is the "easiest" of the group, I own one. The 1393 has less
than 10 possibilities to own and they are in STRONG hands. The other three
are so rare that you have a better chance of finding a 1933 Double Eagle or
an 1804 Silver Dollar in the reject tray at your local CoinStar!! If this game
ends before I get to show my pre 1400 A.D. coins, I will send pics of them to you and any other interested parties. I will relate what I know a little later concerning
the 1234 Roskilde piece.

 

This Kreuzer was minted in Lienz. This piece, unlike IV-32-a has an
upright "7" and a Medieval "4"
