Half shillling city of Wismar [solved]

7 posts
Hello,
I didn't find much informations about this coin, so I'm looking for a catalog reference and a description of the arms on the reverse side to add it on numista :



Observe : RVDOL.Z .P.F.D.HALF.S.
Reverse : MONE.NOV.WISMAR.94

Its seems to be a half shilling/skilling, minted at Wismar under Rudolf II.
Nice coin!!

Thanks a lot !
Now I understand why I didn't find it : I kept searching about a half something :O
Sechsling means its a coin with the value of 6 Pfennig, the 64 on the coin idicate that it was worth 1/64th of a Taler.

PS: can you change your title's name Wilmar into Wismar :O

Cheers,

Paul

Yhanks for the info, I thought 1 thaler equals 288 pfennig but I noticed I was wrong.

I am searching for the meaning of the legend
Non est totum quod splendet ut aurum

Same...

The observe is easy : "Mone(-ta) Nov(-a) Wismar(iensis)"
But the reverse legend isn't that common : "Rudol(fus) II", then I don't know...

First I thought "half S" stood for "Half Shilling", but that doesn't seem right : the legend should be in latin or german instead of english, so it's probably something else.
