this one is yours. I am interested in responses regarding your coin, and if any livonia experts can also offer guidance on my coin, i would love to hear! Sorry, i am not trying to hijack your post!
The coin in question seems to be this one offered in today's Morton & Eden auction, lot 399, estimated at 800 GBP (image courtesy Morton & Eden via sixbid.com):
It will be interesting to see if there is a market these days for rarities in less-than-optimal condition or if it goes unsold. Collectors of late medieval Poland/Baltics must be a fanatical bunch!
