We would really like these to be coin weights for Einbeck coins - the "E" fits very well with the Einbeck hollow pennies (which usually weigh around 0.3-0.5 g)...

The "E" could also stand for Emden. As far as I know, 4 of these weights and different sizes were found here.

Yes, unfortunately there is also Emden...😜

Do you know of any relationships between Einbeck and East Frisia in the past?

 

 

Markus Wehmer   4.4.2024
The East Frisians liked our beer... as did the entire North and Baltic Sea region.

Are these weights known in Einbeck?
