Meissener Groschen 14th/15th century [solved]

3 posts • viewed 73 times
Hi,

I have this Meissener Groschen, but I can't tell exactly which one of the types in the catalogue it fits best. There is no 'b' next to the lion, but there may have been once.

Can anyone help, please?

Thanks

I am not an expert on this type, but I think it can be narrowed down:

1. In your first photos, you can clearly see FRID starting at about 6:30 the way you have the coin oriented. SO this rules out every ruler but the Friedrichs.
2. I think there is little chance there is a letter next to the lion. The field looks quite smooth there and the coin is in good shape.
3. Between the Friedrichs, some have legend FRID DI GRA, and some have legend FRID DI GRACIA. If you can figure out which one it is, you might solve it. From the quality and size of your photo, I can't quite see this.

​Thanks. I think it's almost certainly Frid Di Gra. Slight variation in the lion, but not major. It looks like the first link.
