Hello everyone, 

I'd like for a new mint to be added, this time for the city of Demmin. I'd personally just call the mint ‘Demmin, Germany' (or something else instead of Germany, like 'Pomerania, as mostly these coins were minted there). There were many coins minted by the City of Demmin at the mint, here's a link to one of them:

N#419452

And this is the link to the issuer;

This are some sources confirming its existence:

It's unknown when the mint started working, but the oldest coins are dated to the end of the 12th century, just like the one I linked before. The newest coin I found was from the 15th century, and it can be seen here

The location also remains unknown.

Kind regards and I wish you all a nice weekend! :)
