Here is a nice little 1549 Lithuanian (I believe) Half Groschen I picked up a couple of years ago. If you've got some please post away. image

Take Care

    Indeed.
    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    Yep, that's Lithuanian, from the reign of Sigismund II Augustus. Nice one too! image

    Here's one I have from Albrecht Hohenzollern, Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights and first Duke of Prussia:

    Nice Half Grosz! See that "REX PO"? It means king of Poland, which compels me to claim this is a Polish coin and not a Lithuanian, though it was indeed minted in Lithuania (there was a union between the countries). "Mag Dux" is more akin to great duke. Thanks for sharing!
