The terribly tricky lockdown competition

... and finally 

The 1500's

2 Kreuzer, Bavaria, 1506.

I hope you have enjoyed this little tour of coins by decade, some of them were indeed terribly tricky to work out where they are from!

Mrbadexample complained observed that it could not be pinned down to a decade

No complaints here my friend.

I wouldn't have thought to check mint marks. As always though, I can't attempt one of your quizzes without learning something. Usually several things. I'll probably be coming back later with more questions about the ones I couldn't get, too.

I'd not thought of the mintmasters marks either until it was pointed out that the Prussian coin could not be pinned to a decade, it certainly wasn't planned!

The 1540's

A Prussian Groschen, 1544.
Mrbadexample complained that it could not be pinned down to a decade (I'd not realised that it ran concurently with the next coin),  however with a bit of creativity it could - the mintmasters symbol, a cloverleaf just after "PRVSS" was only used in the 1540's and 1550's - and we already have the coin from the 1550's

Is this an error coin ?

The one on Numista got the N right, so this is indeed an error. Similar errors are more often made, as dies were cut in mirror image.
