    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...

    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.

    This is not quite to the level of the preceding, but here is a modest Brunswick-Luneburg showing St. Andrew. Well, a cat can look at a king...

    Love those early dated coins, especially the different numeral 4 and 7 in the dates.

    A silver pfennig from Munster with St. Paul. Popped up on EBay and it’s my first newp in a long time. Looks like some cool colors.
