Overkill Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I've recently acquired a very old Lithuanian 1/2g coin from 1549, with a Knight and Horse on it. I know the knight is called the Vytis but that's basically all I've learned about the coin. I was wondering if anyone could tell me an estimate about the value of this coin and some history behind it? It would be very appreciated. If the images are still up, here's two pictures of the coin: http://i11.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/9a/19/0f40_1_b.JPG http://i3.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/9a/19/1213_1_b.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
