<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 7846566, member: 102103&quot;]Now I&#039;m not even sure of the denomination any more.&nbsp; The blocks of the wall don&#039;t match any of the pictures on Numista closely.&nbsp; Krause lists denominations of:&nbsp; 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 (=1 mariengroschen) pfenning.</p><p>Some are copper and some are billon, and the diameters and weights vary.</p><p>Some aren&#039;t pictured.&nbsp; In this era there could be multiple similar versions of a given coin type anyway.&nbsp; Mine has these traits:</p><p>19 mm, 2.11 g</p><p>6 large, squarish blocks on the top of the wall.</p><p>Bear head points forward, not much tilted upward at all.</p><p>City gate right side slopes outward.</p><p>Blocks in the wall slightly rectangular with small spaces between them instead of large spaces like a checkerboard.</p><p>Bear rear foot on left edge of block, but does not extend down between blocks.</p><p>None of the ones pictured seem like a perfect match...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1350662[/ATTACH]</p><p>It&#039;s also similar in size and weight to the billon 0.350 fine 1/24th thaler from 1822-1827.&nbsp; Front foot on mine angles back, and their picture looks straight, though.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1350663[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
