[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 8254778, member: 102103"]Some years ago, I got an unidentified copper coin with a 6-spoked wheel design and a curious wheel countermark. As best I can tell, it is a: City of Wiedenbrück, 1692, [URL='https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces155285.html']3 Pfennig[/URL] (wheel countermark) [ATTACH=full]1455117[/ATTACH] I still don't know the exact meaning of the stamp, but ever since I've been on the lookout for any other coins from the City of Wiedenbrück or the Bishopric of Osnabrück, both of which I believe to have used that 6-spoked design on coins. Anyway, I recently picked up this [URL='https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces106168.html']1625 9 pfennig[/URL] from Osnabrück.
