Only thing I know is that seller advertised this as Vienna Pfennig. (I also know he has been wrong before.)


Any ideas? Coin is uniface. About 15mm diameter, depending where you measure it.
Tough one. 8~

Could indeed be an austrian pfenning.
Date between 1200-1500.
These are very difficult to identify
Perhaps you can ask Arie:

Hello Jarcek,
take a look here: http://www.digitalis.uni-koeln.de/Luschin/luschin_index.html

Thank you both for your links, going to investigate.

Other side is "blank" or rather there was something that was destroyed during minting process.

It is described on one of the pages you sent me:

The reverse of these Pfennig (penny) coins is often disfigured due to the striking process, known as the "vierschlag method", where the reverse was struck first. The coin was then turned over and the obverse struck. In the process of striking the obverse, the reverse was usually obliterated.

​Sadly, this is in German. And my German is, well, very poor, rather nonexistent.

Clicking on "Taflen" in the column on the left, you will see the tables drawn from that book, with different types of Vienna Pfennigs.

Thank you!!! I just went through it, but not success. :(
