Again not my coin, so I can't provide any measurements. Reverse has a knight riding a horse with a sword it looks like. Anyone know what this coin is and what it may be worth?


​Lithuania ~ Here is one that is very similar:

Not sure of value of coin you posted, but I know many of these types can be found at inexpensive prices.

​I agree ( for what it is worth :D)

Thank you, I've seen these coins before but somehow forgot about them when trying to figure out what this was.

As for value, I paid about $20 for mine


A very quick glance at ebay I see 6 of them for sale, the 3 "buy it now" are with shipping, $8.50, $26, and $38. With the condition of the one you pictured, that would place it in about the $15 range?
Grand Duchy of Lithuania, not Germany or Netherlands. Lithuanian half-groat of Alexander Jagiellon, undated, about 1495-1498 y., gothic legend, one of the most common variants, 1-A Knight, 2 Eagle, 3A in our book https://en.numista.com/forum/topic58074.html . Can be worth up to 5 USD only.

​Thanks. In the US I don't see these coins selling for $5, about $10 seems fair for it looking at ebay prices, maybe a bit more. But in Lithuania and Poland these coins are cheap. Only medieval silvers you can get for $5 here are Livonia solidus and occasionally Polish-Lithuanian 3 polkers/poltorak. Cheap stuff from India is also available because of people not being able to read the text and not knowing what they are selling.
Your coin is of basic, most common variant. And it's cheapest, as can be. But there are plenty of really expensive variants of Lithuanian half-groat, up to 100 usd and even more.

Yes, Polish dreipoelkers/poltoraks of common years 1620-1624 are really cheap coins. Costs about 3-5 usd here, in Lithuania. But Lithuanian dreipoelkers/poltoraks , minted 1619-1620 only, are really expensive. The price begins in 80-100 usd and can grow twice.
