Comment
The exact style of the W may vary, and the more copper-like a coin appears, the later the coin was struck.Interesting fact
The 1 Penning coin from Gotland (Sweden) made of Silver weighing 0.13 g has a unique feature - it has a dot below the letter "i" in the word "Visby" on the obverse side of the coin. This dot is known as a "Gotlandic dot" and was used in the medieval period to distinguish the coinage of Gotland from other regions. It's a rare and interesting feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of its time.
