I am looking for any information that could answer who these coins are modeled after, where they might have circulated, and what if any ties they might have with the Teutonic Order?

Interesting. Thanks for the input. Again another from Germany. I've reached out to the guy who posted those on an auction site, but he's Polish, and I've yet to hear anything back. He's got it listed with a Teutonic Order tag.

Right picture of the 'coins', could it be the head of a deer?
Ears, antlers ...

Sure looks like a great helm to me. Of course there are probably "block headed" deer out there somewhere. ;)
