jlueke Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Why do you want to keep the 10Mark as a pocket piece? I've forgotten Probably to wear away the cleanign lines and the little bit of corrosion just a little. Though it's not really distracting on that coin.

jlueke Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 This is an ugly but interesting coin. It was overstruck, but what's off is the iconography on the obverse. The cross between the two figures was used at Antioch. However, the globus cruciger was not a feature of that mint. Also, the figures don't seem to be seated and they are not even (the left is higher) neither of these things is unheard of but all in all it makes for an odd coin.

jlueke Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 As it turns out of you rotate the reverse 90 degrees you can see a figure on the left. This ends up being a follis of Justin II at Carthage overstruck on an issuue of Justinian I at the same mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlueke Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Me too. What does the medal represent? The building is the Seewarte in Hamburg which existed 1875-1945 and was the center to study marine meteorology as well as a caduceus. The seated figure sits atop various marine implements with a ship to one side and a storm to the other in the background. She is writing something presumably a sea chart or meteorological data. I'd guess she's a representation on meteorology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
