Why is it so difficult to find information about currency (master) tokens… Does anyone know a good source? I have a site for the euro coins, but you can't find anything about signs from a lot of other coins. It is often even difficult to say what the sign represents, let alone give it a proper name (eg cornucopia / cornucopia).
A nice list would be an asset to me.
Who will help me?

Hi Chilian,

What information about the characters are you looking for?

The pdf in the 1st link of book bytes is complete with mint mark, mint master and year of when the coins were struck.
Here a link for the same info but without a pdf in case you can't open it:

Greetings,

Hi Coin,

all beautiful sites, but what I'm actually looking for is such an enumeration like the ones there for Dutch coins (which I also have in my catalog), but of Norwegian, Mexican, American, etc. coins. In short, everything except Dutch. Krause sometimes mentions something, but mainly as a distinctive feature. If it is not distinctive, then often nothing is mentioned about it. For example, what does the MO mean on a Mexican currency and what does the MK mean on the Slovakian one. I think it's strange that there isn't a nice site for that yet, but "maybe it's me".
thanks for your contribution,
grtz,
Chilian

For example, what does the MO mean on a Mexican currency and what does the MK mean on the Slovakian one.

MO means it was beaten in Mexico City, MK means "Mincovna Kremnica".
