<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 8205187, member: 13307&quot;]Hey everyone!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve had this Polish (Lithuanian?) silver coin sitting around for a while - I&#039;ve tried to attribute it a couple times (<i>didn&#039;t really spend a TON of time on it, because I had other coins to look up...and you go for the low-hanging fruit sometimes so you actually get stuff done</i>) but have so far been unsuccessful.&nbsp; I&#039;m wondering if someone here can help me out.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1438326[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Diameter: 29.5mm</p><p>Weight: 6.5g</p><p><br /></p><p>Figure the ruler is Sigismund III based on the lettering on the portrait side, which if you find him in Numista (<a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces124060.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces124060.html" rel="nofollow">Grosz-Koronny</a> - <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces96705.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces96705.html" rel="nofollow">Pottalar Koronny</a> - <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces63466.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces63466.html" rel="nofollow">Talar Koronny</a>) looks like late 1500&#039;s / early 1600&#039;s Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.&nbsp; On the reverse, it looks like the beginning of a date (16 on the left of the shield, maybe a 24 on the right?) but it&#039;s a bit worn on the right side, so I&#039;m not confident.&nbsp; None of those three linked coins is a direct match for my coin, though...so I&#039;m wondering what the heck I have here.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Note: I&#039;ve also looked through my Krause catalogs, and I wonder if the <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces170608.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces170608.html" rel="nofollow">1624 Ort</a> (18 Groszy - 1/4 Thaler) is a match...although the manual doesn&#039;t give a weight or diameter, and states &quot;varieties exist.&quot;</i></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
