Hello.

I have 2 Livonian schilling coins.

They look so copperish that I thought them Moldavian forgery but the date doesn't match any of them.

Are they Suceava minted？

Date above: 56 or 58 

           below: 43？

These coins were made from low silver billon that is sometimes silvery and sometimes coppery in appearance.

 

I am pretty sure the second one is 1645 and is authentic:  N#41643

Thank you.

I see. The second one is a Livonian.

Is first one also authentic？

Livonian Schilling by Carl X of Sweden was billon too. Numista is missing two years
