    Hi - I have been working on trying to ID this coin for a while and I think I finally narrowed it down to the Livonian Order, Heinrich Von Galen (Master 1551 - 1557) but I can't determine the denomination. It is about 23mm & 2.4g.

    Thanks for any assistance :)

    Thank you both :) DCH - where did you find your reference? I am having no luck finding an example of another of these online. The legend is never quite right.

    I only find the reverse legend as -

    MO: NO: REVALIE:.

    [SIZE=-2][/SIZE]MONETA NOVA RIGENSIS

    The only example of a coin with Ritterlichen reverse that I have found so far is a 1/2 mark -

    I'm using 'East Baltic Regional Coinage', by Davenport, where it's catalog #56.
    Cross references listed but not identified: H-C 6178-9, F 543, S 38-43.
