Germany or Austria (16)Z0 [solved]

7 posts
I have searched the Numista catalog for 1620 and for 1520, and did not find a similar coat of arms. The coin is 17mm at its widest point, and tips the scales at a whopping 0.5 gram. Any ideas?

I have read the letters at the top as LEG, but that could be incorrect.

Will have a look ...

Maybe, if it is 20 divided by the shield, that is the denomination?
Didn‘t check yet but could it be Öttingen?

Well done, yes - this coin has same shield (but is not same coin) ...
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces73378.html

which does have Ludwig Eberhard on that page, so maybe
on your coin above the shield is L E followed by a G letter.

Just found this, with LEG and ZO (so not 20 numbers) either side of shield ...

so is meaning Ludwig Eberhard Graf zu Öttingen :)
Which the two replies since added below confirms.


So on your worn second side was the date divided by an orb containing the value.


The green lines are what I can make out.
The Z O seems is not the date
LEG ZO is part of the legend, seems to be an undated piece

Other coin but showing same lettering.

LEGZO (= Ludwig Eberhard Graf Zu Öttingen)

Your coin is this one https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/german-states-ottingen-ottingen-kreuzer-km-10-1623-1625-cuid-1144789-duid-1383723 I can still very slightly make out the orb on the reverse, not sure what date yours is though

Thank you both for your help in solving this mystery.
