Addition of a variant - 1 Pfennig (1639), Rietberg

Hello dear community,

 

I hope this is the right place for my post and that this kind of request is allowed here. I am still very new to this place and am trying to get more and more into how everything works here.

 

Following a lightning fast identification of my coin here (https://en.numista.com/forum/topic126761.html) yesterday I realised that I actually don't have the version already listed here on numista (N#179319) but a variant with a different design on the obverse:

 

- STADT RIDTB instead of STADT RITBE

- a differently designed eagle

 

Also the reverse differs:

 

- ANNO and year seem to have swapped places here (year right or left, same with ANNO)

 

I found a similar example of my specimen on ma-shops.de: https://www.ma-shops.de/raffler/item.php?id=20316     

 

It seems like the variant already entered here on numista is a variant (130 B/a") of "Schwede# 130" and I assume that the version missing is the regular "Schwede# 130". Unfortunately I am unable to check if my assumption is correct since I don't own said cataloge and I would like to ask here for someone to create a new database entry for the version I found on ma-shops.

I would create the new database entry myself but as mentioned before I lack reliable catalogue data and the specimen on my table is in such a bad condition that I feel like it's not suitable for a well made numista database entry.

Hello,

 

welcome to Numista! It is a right place to ask, however, asking a referee for given area might give you more results quickly. 

 

You can open issuer page from coin page in the top right corner - https://en.numista.com/catalogue/rietberg_city-1.html and right at the bottom there are two aliases for referees for this particular issuer/country. You can click them and message them. There is also second coin of similar design, is not that your coin by chance, I did not check properly.

 

Best regards,
