Notes

The hollow cross Artigs of Arnold von Vietinghof (1359-1364), Wilhelm von Vrymersheim (1364-1385), Robin von Eltz (1385-1389), and Wennemar von Brüggeneye (1389-1401) can be difficult to distinguish. Using the Haljak system, the main differences are in the punctuation between the words on both obverse and reverse. when it changes between a Latin (capital) and a small (uncial) during the period this type was made, this is noted. Date ranges for the subtypes have been assigned according to attributions in recent Haljak auctions. Subtypes and examples: Arnold von Vietinghof (1359-1364) Haljak 17 (all variants with LIVANIE obverse and two or three stacked small dots as punctuation): ✠ MAGISTRI ⋮ LIVAnIE / ✠ MOnETA ⋮ REVALIE ✠ MAGISTRI ⋮ LIVAnIE / ✠ MOnETA : REVALIE Wilhelm von Vrymersheim (1364-1385) Haljak 18 (punctuation by two fat dots each side): ✠ MAGISTRI : LIVOnIE / ✠ MOnETA : REVALIE Haljak 19: ✠ NAGISTRI × LIVOnIE × / ✠ NOnETA ⁑ REVALIE (stacked saltires between words) Haljak 20 (punctuation by one saltire obverse, sometimes with additional saltire at end of legend; two stacked saltires reverse) ✠ MAGISTRI × LIVOnIE × / ✠ MOnETA ⁑ REVALIE ✠ MAGISTRI × LIVOnIE / ✠ MOnETA ⁑ REVALIE Haljak 21 (punctuation by one dot obverse, two stacked saltires reverse) ✠ MAGISTRI · LIVOnIE / ✠ MOnETA ⁑ REVALIE Wilhelm von Vrymersheim (1364-1385) and Robin von Eltz (1385-1389) Haljak 22 (punctuation by one saltire on each side) Robin von Eltz (1385-1389) and Wennemar von Brüggeneye (1389-1401) Haljak 23 (punctuation by one star each side) See main photos
