King Mieszko Text - Early Medieval

(December 10, 2024) This is one of the earliest Polish coins. Its letter lineage is northern deriving as an independent line from north Italian Etruscan (Piacenza liver). The letter style at this time is traditionally called Hebrew as found in the Leningrad Codex. In Poland, this letter lineage and its assumed separate language has traditionally been called Kaanic. This coin was assumed to have been minted shortly after 1181 by King Mieszko III due to a fake translation of its text.

Yet this coin is in Akkadian and not in Hebrew.

Translation in Akkadian (North Text 44)

(read left to right. Capital letters on object. Small letters are inferred Inner vowels. Verbs are italic bold, Dual use letters are E/H, I/Y, U/W, and '/A in which vowel appears at beginning of words except for Yahu which is keeping its traditional Hebrew transliteration)

In English

Fertility-fluids are being thrown-away by astrology-magic. Judgement will involve lack. Revelations (of life forms) will be manifested by instigating activity.

Comment: This text is an interesting mix of medieval Christian culture with its focus on guilt and judgement with Druid culture of emotion magic (activity) and astrology-magic.

Original Translation Attempt

MSZKA KRÓL POLSKI

In English

Mieszko king of Poland

First, the letter assignments are incorrect. Second the claimed translation consists mostly of names which is the classic translation cheat because names can cluster any arbitrary set of letters.
