My current "Box of 20"
Huh... I actually thought this would be a cool collecting them but underwhelmed by response so far. @Tibor should have some I think?
Here is one from Metz with St. Stephen (the protomartyr) that I enjoy the motif, although as pointed out by @lordmarcovan the hand of god looks pretty creepy.
And from Venice, St. Mark...

My current "Box of 20"
St. John the Baptist holding book and lamb. Goldgilden from the Swabia mint.
ID should read I-358.
Madonna and Christ Child. A mariengroscen from the Aachen mint.
Christ on throne. A goldgulden possibly from the Heidelberg mint.
This piece, an R6,in Bob Levinson's 2nd. edition book lists this piece as
unique, likely unique or uncollectible. It is pictured in his book.
John the Baptist holding lamb. Different year and a little nicer.
St. Philip holding cross. Florin d'or from the Antwerp mint. It's not a
pretty coin but I've been out bid on two occasions trying to upgrade.
These are a sample of what I have. For some such as the 1444 groschen, I have several
other years and mints. They are not nearly as nice as the one pictured here. Since I collect
"Early Dated" coins, for me the clarity of the date is most important. The condition of the
coin, while important is secondary. I have a few others but they are not imaged yet.
@Bob13 WOW!!! that piece is amazing.
