Bishopric of Courland [solved]

6 posts
Hello!

I know Bishoprics and Archbishoprics should not be separate issuers, but what about Bishoprics and Duchies? We currently have the Duchy of Courland as an issuer, but I stumbled upon this coin:

https://www.ma-shops.nl/arto/item.php?id=222&lang=nl

Then found one other examples of the same coin here:

(The coins.ee link is not working for me, but the images are still visible.)

I have not added that brakteat to the catalogue yet, but I was wondering if this coin belongs under the Duchy of Courland, or if the Bishopric of Courland deservers to be its own issuer. And if the latter, I can always store this coin under the duchy until the new issuer gets created. :D


Thanks for reading!
Since Duchy of Courland is much younger, after dissolution of Livonia and bishopric of Courland was part of Livonia, I would be for new issuer.

in the link above, they mention some new catalogue which mentions Bishopric of Courland.

Alrighty. When I created a page for that brakteat, I will keep it under the Duchy of Courland until the Bishopric gets created. :D

Although now I feel like asking: how old is the link on forumancientcoins? It says the second part will be available in 2011, so it may not be that new. ;) It looks like that may be a Haljak catalogue--the 2010 one used as a reference catalogue here, maybe?
Maybe, I havent studied it thoroughly and I do not own Haljak at all.

Relatively to the coins it discusses indeed very new :D ("only" from 2010, it is the Haljak Catalogue, second part appeared in 2011).
Currently both volumes for "only" €160 at the authors site (incl. shipping in Europe) ... though not my era yet, I'm still working on 20th and starting 19th century Europe, but hope to get there someday. In the meantime just learning about the history back then :)
Just call me Bram

Oh! And do read my profile page before you open a swap ...
Why not list them both under simply "Courland"?
