[QUOTE="shanxi, post: 3923152, member: 101607"]@ Orielensis As far as I know the meaning of the symbols is not known. I also have another specimen with a circle: [ATTACH=full]1034203[/ATTACH] I saw that you call your bird an eagle. You should change this to raven. After about 1327 the bird is definitely a raven. In 1327 the city bought the right to mint coins from the Dukes of Freiburg. The image changed from eagle to raven. See the eagle of the dukes below. You can see the differences easily. The raven is also the historic coat of arms of Freiburg and althought there is a modern coat of arms, it is still in use, e.g. it is the symbol of the local soccer team and of the most famous beer brewery of Freiburg [ATTACH=full]1034204[/ATTACH] Freiburg im Breisgau AR Brakteat AD ca. 1300 Obv.: Head of eagle left, cross to the left Rev.: - AR, 0.41g, 16mm Ref.: Freiburger Münzen und Medaillen No. 2; Slg. Ulmer 1472; Wielandt 46 to all the others: Thank you for your kind comments[/QUOTE]
