An unknown German/Swiss/HRE coin from 1623 [solved]

6 posts • viewed 94 times
Hello, fellow Numista members!

I received this coin through a lot of metal detecting finds and I couldn't identify this coin through Numista.
Further internet searches also prove of little effect, so now I am asking for your help!

Thanks in advance!

Should be Bremen I think

​Thanks! That's already narrowing down the subject matter.

It seems to be Bremen, but the coin itself isn't in Numista yet.
And... I am not very versed in all the values of the HRE or Free German Cities.
So if I wanted to add this coin to the catalogue how am I going to do it? Since I know the date, I know the dimensions, the material is probably silver, but that's all I know.

I've found it through NGC Coin:

Thanks for the Latin “Translation”!

it actually isn’t my coin, a friend of mine asked me to write a forum post for him (we do 99% of collecting together and he knows my English is a lot better. On my instructions he has added it to the collection.)

So I’d say, eat your heart out adding more information about it :wink:
