Medieval AR (extremely rare) ?
« on: October 09, 2010, 07:20:29 pm »
Hi,
I would like to get your expert opinions on this coin please.
Diameter: AR 41, Weight: 22.80g.
Someone has guided me that this coin was a Bommel Geldern 1599 and it lead me to this coin on mcsearch info:  http://www.mcsearch.info/search.html?search=Bommel+Geldern+1599&view_mode=1&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ol=1&sort=&c=&a=&l=#0
The one on mcsearch info is a half taller, the one I am trying to find out is a taller I guess.
Which one is more rare and expensive? Thank you for all your help.

Hi solon,

the collection of Georg Baum, which was sold by Kuenker (auction 116) in 2006, contained a "Nottaler zu 30 Stueber" from Bommel. It's weight was 23,01g and it was sold for 6500 Euros.
See lot no. 4207 on page 81.
You can download the PDF-File of that part of the auction here:

The coin from the Georg Baum collection looks very similar to your coin but there are some differences, so it was struck with a different die.

That's all information I have. Not much, but I hope it helps though.
