Comment
The coin on the picture is a contemporary fake of 2.89 grams, and around 0.890 fineness. Obviously has been circulated, both the original and the contemporary fake is very rare, as Katalin has been ruling for a very short time. (15 November, 1629 - 21 September, 1630)***
Since new numista rules forbid the use of the birth name within the title, she was born as Katharina von Brandenburg
