papa_joe Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 i have noticed this writing on an 1975 German Thaller from Nuremberg . Now i guess that its all about the value of this coin, but. what exactly does it mean? Is it x=10 so its 10 mark? and what is the "feine" means?

Dockwalliper Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Fine. Maybe refering to the purity of the metal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa_joe Posted November 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Maybe. Any idea about the "X" ? And if fine refers to purity then what is it? 100% ? 90%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 In the late middle ages up until the 19th century, a Mark was a 1/2 pound weight of silver. No idea about purity; it was probably .900-.950 though. X eine feine marck would mean "10 (makes) one fine mark". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
