Watch List notes:

Israel. Hebraic, Important and Scarce Group of 7 Hungary, Poland and Norway Medieval Coins. Jewish moneyers placed Hebrew letters on the small silver coins that they minted for Hungarian and Polish kings. One or more of these scarce coins belongs in every collection of Judaic numismatics. They also should sell well on ebay. Lot includes from Hungary: Andreas II (1205-1235) Tet above crescent & star/Judaea Capta type; Bela IV (1235-1270) portrait with Hebrew "Tet/Eagle; tet within inscription/inscription (Rethy 244); Count Chenok under Bela IV Chet within wreath/fleur de lis; Stefan V (1270-1292) portrait/Aleph between two doves. A very rare issue from Poland: Mieszko III (1173-1202) facing king/Hebrew inscription. Mieszko III, 1173-77 & 1195-1202, gave a life grant to the Jews to lease the state mint, and Polish currency in the last two decades of the 12th century was stamped solely in Hebrew (see photo). And the famous large silver 4 Mark from Norway featuring large Hebrew inscription for JEHOVAH, issued by Christian IV in 1644. All are Very Fine to Extremely Fine. This lot should be viewed to be fully appreciated. Very scarce and desirable coins. Lot of 7 coins. Estimate Value $1,000 - UP
