There you have another conical tap type II (according to Krabath 2001), i.e. a through-tap! In this small example, however, I see a dog/wolf rather than a horse as the outlet. Literature: Stefan Krabath, The high and late medieval non-ferrous metal finds north of the Alps. An archaeological and art-historical study of their manufacturing technique, functional and chronological determination. Internationale Archäologie 63 (Rahden/Westf. 2001), 40-42.

I'll do it. Have Sonja and Stefan asked you about the weights? Because they told me that the archaeologists in Einbeck don't even know about them.

Yes, a long time ago, when the finds were still "very fresh". I'm just as confused as the local numismatists here... There are a few Einbeck stamps and weights, but they're completely different from those found in East Frisia. Only the "E" is so characteristic of Einbeck coins - and there are no comparable depictions on the coins minted in Emden, are there?

The Emden Goldgulden has the same Gothic e

 

 

Wolfgang Janßen   4.4.2024
But no coins are minted with such a distinctive Gothic e as yours from Einbeck
