Over the years I have a significant number so far unknown medieval coins from my collection especially in this magazine and in the Berlin papers for Coins, seals and heraldry described; nevertheless are, as my medieval coins in 1892 to the local Egl. Mfinz Cabinet passed over, and quite a few of the announcements did as well needy people remained behind, of which I was a part in the commemorative publication to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the numismatic matic society in Berlin (1893) is described and explained have. The rest, at least the most important ones, I hereby give it to the public, hoping to give it to other disciples To give suggestions to our specialists, little by little at least some of the most important areas of our fatherland Find coin customer processing.
But first I have to go to what is in the intended commemorative publication Included article Sayn, the Witten Salentin III. No. 39 one Correction, because, as Mr. District Judge Kirsch told me In Cologne, its mint is located in Homburg, one of the many places of the same name on the Lower Rhine, not north of Duisburg, but in Upper Bergisch, after the Siegerland there, in the Gummersbach district, in the part on the right bank of the Rhine Reg. ref.

This turnover penny looks deceptively similar to those that Wilhelm IL von Berg, partly as count 1360-1380, partly as Duke 1380 - 1408, i.e. around 1380, so extremely numerous in Mühlheim let it beat. On this in the manner of the time small gentlemen were apparently made with profit-seeking intentions - The embossing is without question both the coat of arms and the four lions (the Jülich and the Bergisch) of the Bergi- model, such as the monetary MOVÄ instead of the IIOLM attributed to the Mühlheim pattern; the Randerathsche Chess coat of arms takes the place of the Ravensbergi on the Rf the small heart shield and appears larger and clearer in the inner inscription on the back.
Among the coins of this reign, which appeared in B.C. d. Chijs leenen van Brabant p. 156 and in the years 1851, 1854, 1856, 1860 and 1861 the Rev. num. beige made known there is no similar one. But it is mistaken there a Danish Hvid from Randers among the Randerather recorded.

The inscriptions on both coins protect against confusion with Hoya, whose bear paws resemble the Diepholz deer antlers, about the Grote a. a. 0. P. 255 to compare, completely similar see. — This penny and those described below from Hoya, except for the Witten No. 8, and the Oldenburger No. 21 are based on a find made in Oldenburg in 1875. taken, which unfortunately did not make it to the description because only a few hours to a selection by the E.

ß H. Dannenberg:
After the above was written long ago, book- naa's interesting essay about the Bremen find p. 1 vol. XIX d. Z. appeared, in which our pfennig under No. 25 p. 18 occurs. There, however, is the illustration plate I 25, to my eye At least, from the Bf's transcription, nothing but the Dominus As can be seen, I do not think it is superfluous to use the German to give more of my copy here. Most of them too of the following Hoya stamps were found in the imaginary represented, but I have it for the same reason, because the The collotypes on plates I and II show the character of the coins reflect it quite faithfully, but mostly the transcriptions too little to be clearly identified, considered beneficial, with the illustration of mine that had already been drawn and in the In most cases it is not possible to withhold more complete copies.

This coin is as close in style as in size and Apparently the content also corresponds to the Witten of the reversible schen cities, which, despite the rule of the Westphalians Wewelinghöfer, in the little Hoya is not strange, since that The umlaut area of these Witten is not just about Westphalia, but extended as far as the Bhein, as shown by the finds also teach certain Rhenish imitations (see p. 57 of Festschrift d. Num. Ges. Berlin 1893). Maybe you want to but take offense at the old age that I associate with our Witten attribute; However, the Hoya family tree leaves no possibility to a different allocation than to our brothers and sisters, and it also comes into consideration that in nearby Bremen Archbishop Albert between 1359 and 1369 similar Witten (BL f Mzkd. I Plate XIII 167). Also from Gerhards

As atonement Otto III, 1383-1428, Grote gave us a Witten used style (Mzstud. IV Pl. 8 No. 10). — By the way, Grote quantifies Mzstud. IV p. 242 our Johann as the second, but probably more correct in his family tables p. 196 than the first, since no other count of the same name preceded him.

The character, which is exactly the same as the already No. 7 mentioned Münster Wewelinghöfer of Bishop Ludwig (1310—1357) Grote decided to add the three identical types from Bassum and Nienburg (Mzstud. IV Taf. 8 No. 1 — 3), of which the first seems to bear the name Otto, the older Otto U Nienburg (1290-1324) as a contemporary of Ludwig show. However, with regard to what has just been discussed- like Diepholzer Pfennig, for which no other coiner than John II, 1377 - 1421, can be found, and with Also consider Erich, who will be discussed immediately Nienburg, where the matter is exactly the same, it is necessary both ours and the Grote coin for younger, i.e. for one Characteristics of Otto III to explain; we just have to assume that those of the Münster, which still exist today in extraordinary abundance especially in his time in the Münsterland veie in the bordering counties circulated en masse and thus became part of the Incentivize further coinage. This assumption has no basis whatsoever Concern, on the contrary, following it, we remain in agreement mood with the usual allocation of the very similar Olden Barger denarii (Mzstud. III Taf. I, 8 p. 104 No. 11) to the Count Moritz, whose reign 1386-1426 coincided with ours Otto III coincides. Nor does it in any way contradict that the last of the Hoya coins to be listed here - both as the equally safe Otto UI. belonging and from Grote

(M6m. Pet. HI Plate IV 3) proves.
I subsequently see my agreement with Buchenau, that from the composition of the imaginary Bremen find and the light weight of this penny to the same result- niss reached. He gives (a. a. 0. No. 10) as a transcription OTTO«

P. 244 changes the name of this Berssen to its current form Bassum, although of course, as a result of the allocation of Coins to Otto II (1290-1324) against Buchenau's communication (P. 13 a. a. 0.) indicates that the place only came to Hoya in 1384.

So far, such things have not been proven, and the alleged one moneta nova Nuerde, which Mader (VI 175) believes was coined here, belongs rather to Horde (Bl. f. Mzkd. II Pl. XIX 277). The mint owner and the appearance of both can be questionable MüDzchen but and the above message about an embossing Swords 1406 probably speak more for the later Adolf than for his father Adolf III, who only lived for a little more than a year, ruled from December 24th, 1391 to January 2nd, 1393; anyway but are our coins older than 1417, because this year Adolf was made Duke of Cleves. Pennies are the same By the way, we also have an influence from Hattingen; notice- To be sure, one of the same has to do with the Klevish The coat of arms also bears the title of Kleve, while the other bears the title (f. f.

This beautiful penny is an exact replica of the Dortmunders of Emperor Max I, which I wrote in the Festschrift der numismat. social I published plate II 11 in Berlin in 1893, explainable by the proximity of the leading imperial city; the Imperial orb is replaced by the disk [with the Klevish coat of arms. This circumstance leaves no doubt that neither John II's predecessor of the same name nor his so-called successor will be given our penny may.
By the way, a Mttnz history of the county of Mark would be finally necessary, because the preparatory work by Mader (YI 139), Leitzmann (Num. Zeitschr. 1855 p. 95) and even by Grote (Bl. f. Mzkd. IT 127, 190, 359, 366) are long out of date.

If it weren't for the clear inscription, this coin would cause us a lot of embarrassment because they come from a similar factory we only have silent denarii. But also the way they appear to us lies, it presents us with enough riddles. It's strange at first the headgear, which is probably a bishop's hat can be seen, albeit with very peculiar wing-like ones Ornaments to the side and a cross above. And alienating is the two-sided penny in a bracteate area. Should one assumes that it precedes the bracteates? he would then fall in Barbarossa's time.

The peculiar imprint of the seal, which is different from the ordinary one The type of episcopal seal is quite different, which led to the Assumption that the stamp of a bracteate of Bishop Hart- bert was used and prompted me to discover this interesting experience. seems to be pursued more closely.
A very similar bracteate is found in Cappe^) Plate III, No. 35 pictured. Those on p. 28, no. 40. 42 be- to agree with what was written. The inferiority and unreliable casualness of Cappe's book prompted me to write one of galvanoplastic impression taken from the seal according to Hildes to send home and with the original bracteates of the urban to compare museums. Because they were from Cappe recorded bracteates are present in his collection, so They had to come into the possession of the museum with this be. Unfortunately, the director of the same, Mr Professor Dr. Andreae made in the most grateful manner Yer equation gives a negative result. The only one available Hartbert's real bracteate is completely different, and also among those that ended up in the museum with Gappe's collection Seeländer's fakes are not a stack that even some is similar to ours.
The one from the Bünstorf coin find'), under No. Hartbert's bracteate described in 83 also differs. My suspicion also proved that the one under No. 188 recorded could be related to ours, according to Announcement from District Judge Dannenberg as erroneous.
How does Cappe know the three bracteates mentioned, or where they have come if they are really in his I have not been able to determine who owned it. Anyway but the seal proves beyond doubt that Bishop Hartbert really is the same as described by Cappe or at least very similar bracteates were formed.

Our seal is therefore interesting in two respects: once for the numismatist, in that a written loose, previously unknown bracteate to Bishop Hartbert von can be attributed to Hildesheim with certainty; then for the diplomatist in that the use of a brak- Teaten stamp for producing a seal is not otherwise possible comes, or at least an extraordinary rarity is^).

These have already been introduced into the numismatic sector by Dewerdeck Literature introduced, but only by Mader and Vossberg A type of coin treated in more detail offers the explanation greatest difficulties and so the relative moderately small, with a total of 101 pieces, a filling horn of various doubtful questions before us. Under In such circumstances, even a small enrichment or Correction of our knowledge as given below will be entitled to the interest of coin researchers.

The question now arises: where should we put our penny? if he is not a Glogauer? The answer is because of the frequent Occurrence of the name Heinrich among the Silesian dukes of the Xni. Century not easy to give, including the representation The back of our penny is completely meaningless: the Striding eagles are used by several Piastian princes XIV century, especially in the RücksiegeP).

But already there a Schweidnitz Schöppensiegel from 1335 the whole pig appears and also the well-known hollow pennies'), which certainly go back to before 1400, have the boar's head, So nothing stands in the way of the image of our coin on Schweidnitz to obtain, especially since there are no other cities as competitors question come.

56 F- Friedensburg:
The inscription is the most important thing about the coin, from it we must seek the decision to win. Your version GffiLSÄ DVaVM SLSSia IWBHVM BOIiKONVM gives itself easier than further training for Duke Bolko I. from Schweidnitz GffiLeffi DVQIS BOLKOHIS to recognize and finds its side piece on a pfennig from Duke Semovits Beuthen^) in 6KLGK DVQIS Semoviti, which is obviously the pure one is borrowing or imitation. The question now is, what is it like? this inscription, which only begins with “the helmet of the young (i.e. minor- years") Bolkonen, Dukes of Silesia** are translated can, interpret? Perhaps the closest thing is to assume that two young dukes of the name Bolko are meant, and then the penny can only go to the Oppel brothers of this name, belong to the sons of Boleslaw I of Opole, as there are only two there Bolko brothers appear. This is also the reason for Dewerdeck's assignment. In the family tables there is indeed the older brother Boleslaw, the second called Bolko, in the Documents but these names change for both, it is Bolko just the abbreviation for Boleslaw. The first question now is whether these Opole princes upon their death in 1313 father's were still juveniles**. Unfortunately this question is not included of any certainty. According to Beg. 3157 her father documented with her consent as early as 1310, which would speak for their maturity, but on the other hand it will This assumption is made less likely by the fact that that the sons are only 12 or 14 years after his father Marry death. Government actions by them are in the Regesten not recorded until 1315, politically active they only emerged around 1327, when Silesia was incorporated into the Bohemian feudal association is included.

from a particularly close community or even from one common rule of both, their seals from later times also show different titles: dnx Falkenbergensis and dux Opoliensis. So there is no support anywhere allocation based on the first interpretation of the transcription. You can also use this transcription with ^der Helm der Bolkonian Princes^ translate, as does Dewerdeck himself with a second copy of our penny does, in which he mistakenly finds the name Münsterberg in the inscription on the back^). Then only Bolko's sons of Schweidnitz can be considered come, to whom Dewerdeck also wrote the second piece just mentioned allocated. Because Boleslaw I of Opole never calls himself Bolko and a third prince of the same name, whose sons were still denarii could have influenced is out of the question. The sons But Bolkos ruled collectively for a long time, initially until 1308 under the guardianship of Hermann von Barby, or Hermann of Brandenburg, from which time we have a certain one Pfennig'), then under that of the now adult eldest brother Bernhard, who particularly remembers the von documents issued jointly to him and his brothers has attached his seal^). It's probably not irrelevant our controversial issue is that some of these documents ^) are based on time the age of underage and the determinations made at that time Confirm settings again. In 1311 it says: “quod cum olim in annis nostris pupillaribus dominus Hermannus dictus de Barboy. . . . captaineus nostre terre existeretconstitutus. . . . verum cum jam adulti terram nostram ad manus propra regiminis resum- psissemus. . . decrevimus etc.^ Also in the same year: “beneficiis .... in annis nostris puerilibus et minus provectis datis et concessions ex nunc, cum divina gracia opitulante ad annos magis discretos maturos provenimus et adultos, .... observamus.*' Finally in 1312:

In view of all these facts and testimonies one will not can avoid giving the pfennig to the princes of Switzerland. speak, since only with this allocation do all moments come together- agree: coat of arms, helmet, community and finally the Titulation “duces Slesie”. As already highlighted in my work elevated, “Slesia” is just the name for Lower Silesia, and among the Upper Silesian Piasts only one calls himself Duke Semovit on his above-mentioned pennies dux Slesie. This one But pennies are imitated those of the Juvenes, as this has happened elsewhere^).

Henry de Longp6rier treated 25 years ago a series of minted images of autonomous coins from Delphi'). A Unicum gave him an opportunity to do this, which led him on his path in the Gabinet in Paris. The same, now in one other copies also exist in the Berlin collection, has two ram's heads placed next to each other on the front, above it two dolphins touching with their mouths and at the bottom the inscription AAA®IKON.

Both animals played but a role in the cults of various deities, and There are a whole series of cities that serve as a formative image use where their assignment to Apollo is impossible or not is unlikely.

The statue provides clear confirmation of Hermes xQioqÖQog^ whom the Pheneates consecrate to Delphi *) (Paus. V, 27, 8). On the Cyprus stamps, however, it is Aries aphrodisiac*). The same applies to coins with the goat as a coat of arms; because she is too sacred to various gods or accepted as a sacrificial animal). Like now in the Delphic coat of arms the ram as an attribute of Apollo xagystog is to be justified, so is the goat Testimony that connects them with the Delphic god brings.

But it will be crucial for me the fact that the dolphin comes along, namely not as a symbol, but as part of the coat of arms. This is particularly clear on the tetradrachm described above, where at first glance the so-called coat of arms style both the ram heads, as well as the dolphins above can be seen, ^^a sample image of a schematic coat of arms composition siüon^', as E.

Through this arrangement I am convinced that the tetradrachm will also work for the smaller denominations of the ram type proved that the The dolphin that appears at the head is not a sign, but rather Part of the coat of arms. Longp6rier already highlighted (a. a. 0. p. 155) that the Delphic rams were above all those of other cities are characterized by the dolphin; I would like to make this even clearer by saying: through These coins are not only for Delphi but for the dolphin secured for Apollo, namely Delphinios. — The same thing happens We also meet us at the Delphic goat stamps, where there are often dolphins to the right and left of the goat's head are arranged strictly according to coats of arms').

For the coinage of Duke Frederick between 1379 and 1384 in Lauf speaks of a document from 1380 d. d.

The cheap transfer of these water powers indicates that Georg Rutz is already proving to be very useful to the Duke- must have shown, or was in the process of providing significant services to accomplish.
The main argument in favor of the mint in Sulzbach is: Pfenning No. 10 with the large lily clearly, and the many Differences in the F-S-Pfenninge, which are reflected in finds have increased again in modern times, are also tending to give up Sulzbach close than remember that the same during the short interim government of the brothers Friedrich and Stephan from July 31, 1384 to December 10 of the same year would have been beaten*).
