I stumbled upon this Gulden from the city of Emden thursday. I don´t know anything about the history of this coin, but the combination of design, size (41 mm), age (minted 1637-57) and price ($63) forced me to by it. What I wonder is: do anyone know if it is possible, in any way, to date this coin more precisely?

Very nice piece. 1637-57 is when Ferdinand (see FERD III on the coin) was emperor of the HRE, so that time frame makes sense. Don't know much about coins from those days, but on the 1 gulden (28 stüber) coins from Emden that I have come across you would usually see "EMB" for the city name, and the CoA is a different one. Here are two from the times of Ferdinand II (the predecessor of F. III): http://www.ma-shops.com/saenn/item.php5?id=720 http://128.192.145.172/ancient/ferd3560.jpg Problem is, I don't have any better suggestion as to where the coin is from ...
