[QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 3923098, member: 96898"]Well, I think your example rightfully deserves the title "Best Plotina on CoinTalk." What a stunning portrait! Somewhat unsurprisingly, my personal favorite is the bracteate from Freiburg. (And I very much understand why you put a question mark behind "crescent." At least to me, the control mark on many of the Wielandt 48c specimens looks more like "wave" and less like "crescent". Yet, I have no idea whether this is just the die cutters' fancies or two different control marks. Do you maybe know more?) Just to keep this thread visually appealing, here is the larger version without control marks, Wielandt 48b: [ATTACH=full]1034173[/ATTACH] [SIZE=3]Freiburg im Breisgau, civic issue, bracteate pfennig, ca. 1368–1390 AD. Obv: eagle's head l. Rev: negative design (bracteate). 18mm, 0.30g. Ref: Wielandt: Breisgau 48b; Slg. Wüthrich 63; Slg. Ulmer 249; Berger –. Ex Allen Berman.[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
