A friend has asked for help identifying coins in the attached pictures for a friend of theirs. I'm still trying to get information on weights and sizes, but there is a language barrier. My collecting interest isn't in this part of the world or period of time, so I'm stuck. I've managed to identify around half of the collection and tdziemiahas been a superstar and come up with ID's on some others. I'm still seeing these things in my sleep!
I'll post another thread shortly with others as I don't want to blast them all here at once. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Never aspire to have more, aspire to be more. (unless we're talking collecting of course).

It is clear to me that someone intentionally assembled a collection of these tiny coins struck across all the cities of Silesia at that time (I have a few of these). Very nice!
I was looking at the Bytom Heller for no 3, but I thought the trefoil around the “B” would have made it something different.
It's a nice collection it seems. I really want to see them in the flesh now. He'll probably end up selling them in the end. It's a good lesson in labelling and cataloguing a collection!
