Help on the year-lines and Krause number of Brandenburg coin

8 posts • viewed 101 times

It's about this Numista entry:

 

N#412613

 

(More information here). There are two Krause numbers that would make sense.

 

1) https://numismaster.com/MC_97543

That is currently used and has the year-line of the pictured coin listed, but has a slightly different obverse and reverse.

 

2) https://numismaster.com/MC_97550

Doesn't have the year of the pictured coin listed, also has a slightly different obverse, BUT has the same reverse.

 

So I'm not sure about the correct attribution and the year-lines that should be listed on the Numista entry.

Maybe @escoins can help?

It doesn't matter which KM number you use because both are wrong. The KM 383 is less wrong because it at least contains the correct year.
If you want to precisely assign a coin from German areas then you also have to use the right expert literature (in this case von Schrötter or Bahrfeldt). With KM only very rough referencing is possible , that is why serious auctions and museums do not use KM as a reference for german coins (not even IKMK).
This coin corresponds to Bahrfeldt No. 56c:

Thanks!! I attached the ref code to the entry (if you can check its the right catalogue of Bahrfeldt pls?)

Also, which year-lines are correct for this type?

yes, Das Münzwesen der Mark Brandenburg – Numista is the right reference. This coin is listed in vol. III (Band 3).

von Schrötter (for Brandenburg-Prussia) is unfortunately not registered as a reference on Numista. This coin is listed there under number 49:

Added! Please check i was not wrong in book attached

Thank you, that is the right book. There are some more books from Schrötter for other periods of Brandenburg-Prussia. I will open a request to add them.
