Oh, so you are diving into older coinage?

​I was asked, if I could document this, so of course I did it for Edduns... But yes, I happen to have older coins in my collection as well

From time to time I document other collectors findings, since it will enrich the knowledge of everybody

I would love to see your documentation on Soliduses of Christina from Swedish Livonia, but I fear we would have too few photos... but for example I found to have 4 coins with same lettering within one year (and one more with different lettering) and all 4 are different variants (sligtly different dies).

Hm... ​my fear is that a documentation of those coins would be useless.

Imagine putting a sheet of metal through two rolling pins, which had circular designs scattered across those pins. That is the process Riga used to strike these coins (which definitely help mass-produce them). Each die on the pins would have been individually hand-carved. And taking into consideration the dies that broken (requiring new pins), how long they were struck for, and that the reverse and obverse are separate from each other (the same obverse die could have a different reverse die), odds are, if you acquire multiples of the same year, they will be different in some way.

There would probably be hundreds of varieties per year at minimum.

Yeah, probably. But the number is definite and at least lettering variants could be documented in full.
