This Horngroschen was struck in Leipzig. A nice piece
considering that most have weakly struck center features.

I hope someone can help find the dates 1464 and earlier,
because I've had no luck finding any. If I read the OP we
should be able to post pictures of the coins without actually
owning them. There were not any coins struck with the
date "1464" unless they come from an Islamic country
or an Indian mint or an Oriental mint. From the years
1402-1464 the dates will come in one of three categories,
Non minted unless by one of the entities listed above,
minted, but I do not own an example, or minted and I have the coin
in my collection. They are for the most part divided equally.
Any help by posting a picture of said coins should be done
within the bounds of copyright law. I can get us to 1465,
but after that, without help and luck this thread might die.

 

We need to get an Islamist involved. Anyone know one ?

 

I will space out the last three dates (1465-67) over the
next few weeks to find others who can help us.

 

This Horngroschen was minted in Leipzig. As usual, the central
features are weak. At least the date is readable.

These four coins cover what I have for the year
1466. I hope some can find coins/pics of coins
1461-64. I still have a few nice ones before 1461.
Next week I will place the 1465 coins that I have.

 

Well here we are. I've got a couple 1465 pieces to show.
Has anybody found 1464-1461? Just for my vanity and
ego I was hoping we would, because I have a few nice ones
to still share. I of course would need help from the Forum
with dates that I'm missing.

 

A relatively well struck piece. The mint is Freiberg.

A well struck piece from Colditz. This is the first Horngroschen
that I bought. Picked it up from Karl Stephens several years ago.

I was in Barcelona a couple of weeks ago and went to see Eduard Domingo at Aureo & Calico. Although he is very knowledgeable about all Spanish coinage, his speciality is in fact Islamic coins. I asked him whether he knew any with the dates we are looking for. The only one he could find in their auction records was this:

Mamlouks of Egypt, in the name of Al-Zahir Saif al-Din Abu Sa'id Khushqadam

AH 867. Dinar ashrafi. (Mitchiner W. of I. 1189 sim) (Lavoix 1076 sim) (S. Album 1019). 3,41 grs. Rara con toda la fecha.

Year AH: 867 ( = 1462-1463 AD)
Peso: 3,41 grs.
Subasta: 216
Fecha subasta: 28/01/2009
Numero lote: 257

Apparently (I know nothing about Islamic coins) the date is usually written in words but this one has 867 in numbers ۸۶۷ at the bottom of the obverse
