writing the new catalogue „Coins of Grand Duchy Lithuanian 1495-1536“

[gdrsb]

Hi, I'm Giedrius Bagdonas, Lithuanian, my special themes are Lithuanian half-groats of 1495-1529, Lithuanian groats 1625-1627, Lithuanian solids (schillings) 1614-1627, 1652-1653.
Belarussian Dzmitry Huletski and me are writing the new catalogue „Coins of Grand Duchy Lithuanian 1495-1536“ now.
Any information about the varieties of the Lithuanian coins 1495-1536, not included into previous catalogues, is welcomed.
Especially looking for the pictures of half-groats (1508-1529) and groats (1535-1536) of Sigismund the Old.
Each catalogue‘s picture of the coin, taken form You, will be followed by the name of the collector from whom the coin will be acquired.

Hi, I'm Grzegorz from Poland. Good job,the new catalog is very necessary. It's interesting half-groats of Sigismund I the Old, from my collection. I have more.......

[gdrsb]

Great, Grzegorz, I'll examine Your coins and I'll write in today's evening.

[gdrsb]

Well. I'll examine these coins by the old issue of Huletski catalogue. Our new issue will be much more wider and deeper
The first coin – one of the most common obverse of 1510 with the rubbish on coin surface and the date. Nothing special.
2 – this obverse is on 205FR by Huletski and few more coins, we will include into new book.
3 – this obverse is on 205FQ by Huletski and few more coins, we will include into new book.
4–  205L46, 205L47 have this obverse.

[gdrsb]

So,we are working on the book. There's too much unpublished, especially about the Lithuanian large groats of Sigismund the Old 1535-1536, so we decided to restrict our theme:the book will be about the early Lithuanian half-groats (1495-1529) only. The page of rough copy included ( the original issue will be in English only). We will include even 91 different varieties of Lithuanian half-groats of Alexander Jagiellon, and much more varieties of Lithuanian half-groats of Sigismund the Old, You can find in any catalogue today : year 1509 – 55 different varieties, 1510 – 32, 1511 – 30, 1512 – 61, 1513 – 74.... so, we hope, it will be the widest book about the Lithuanian half-groats of 1495-1529 for noon....

Witam !
Z tematyki zawartej w tym katalogu interesuje mnie tylko panowanie Aleksandra Jagiellończyka.W związku z tym mam pytanie czy ilość wykazanych tutaj wariantów legend półgroszy litewskich Aleksandra jest dużo większa niż w tym katalogu ?

Kiedy ma się ukazać nowy katalog ?
Pozdrawiam

Hi,
yes, we are working on a base of this catalogue of D.Huletski http://allegro.pl/katalog-monet-litewskich-huletski-new-i5470694660.html and You'll find about the 30-40% more varieties and some absolutely new types of the Lithuanian Alexander half-groats in our new book . But we are working only on half-groats and not including any other nominals  of  Lithuanian coins. So, Lithuanian denars of Alexander Jagiellon You'll find in A.Hromyka article http://www.magduclit.com/articles/20090609/Hramyka.pdf or in D.Huletski older catalogue http://allegro.pl/katalog-monet-litewskich-huletski-new-i5470694660.html but not in our future book. We hope to finish the writing of our book soon, and, I think, we'll get the printed catalogue about  in Marth.
