GERMANY, Kleve (Duchy). Johann II. 1481-1521. AR Hornsgulden (34mm, 14.51 g, 2h). Kleve mint. Dated 1502. Ornately crested helmet over coat-of-arms / Ornately crested helmet over coat-of-arms. Cf. Noss, Kleve 206 (for half denomination; same obv. die as illustration); cf. Historiches Museum Frankfurt M17625 (Half Horngulden; same dies). Toned. In NGC encapsulation 8420735-001, graded AU 53. Extremely rare. Only three Halbhornsgulden known to Noss, with no mention of a heavier type or example, such as this coin. Top Pop.

NGC labels this a "1/2 Gulden," comparing it to a later weight standard. As Noss describes the type as "Halber Hornsgulden – 6 Stüber brabantisch," with a weight of 7.59 g, we must assume that this example, at double weight, would be a full Hornsgulden.
