3 Kreuzer, Leopold I, 1666 (Silesia)

My coin is a little bit different - I especially mean obverse, where is written LEOP instead of LEOPOLDVS…

What do you think?

I'd call it a different type or a counterfeit. What's the weight and diameter? Is it attracted to a magnet?

Diameter 21 mm, weight 1,48 g. Not magnetic. Silver.

Krauze got “has variations”, but every 3 kreuzer image in catalogue got leopoldvs and not leop d g

Maybe find some local source about those coins and check if variations include different lettering.

Silesia belongs to Bohemia and the mints in Prague and Kutná Hora have this variation. I didn't go into the depth of the problem, you need to look at the specific mint and the name of the mintmaster who minted the coins in that year, etc.

SHS on second image is Breslau. Salomon Hammerschmidt, 1664-91.

Obverse shortens ruler name and has more letters on other side of 3.

Thank you guys, for your answers.

So do you thing this coin should be listed on Numista separately as new coin?
