Afghani Gold Mohur of Ahmad Shah Durrani from 1763 (minted in Kandahar):

 

Nice to see you joined in this thread!

 

1764 Passau 1/8 taler

 

A 1763 Wildman Pfenning


and another 5 Kopek. This one has some interesting things going on.

 

Thanks, but I doubt I will post here much in the near future, I have very few coins that are even remotely close in regards to the known exact years they were minted to those that will be required over the next 200 responses or so.

I have one of those as well. Any idea why mine has a copper plug. It's apparent that it was part of the planchet prior to being struck.

 

@Chris B - I like it! I might be mistaken, but I believe that your example is struck in "white metal" alloy. The copper plug is present to prevent corrosion. I have a similar medal from Wurzburg. I suspect that these were either trial strikes, or perhaps off-metal strikes in a lower cost alloy for purposes of gifts/keepsakes. I'm curious if others on the board have more information.

 

That makes sense. Now that I think about it I'm pretty certain mine is not silver. It's at home and I am not so no way to confirm until this evening.

 

The copper plugs were usually used with Tin coins, so that might be the metal used. The copper has an electrolytic effect, which reduces corrosion.

1762:
Archduchy of Austria - 1 Kreuzer - 1762 - Archduchess Maria Theresia

Cathedral Chapter of Münster - 6 Pfenning - 1762

 

All I have for 1762 is another 5 Kopek. We are almost done with these.

 

1762 quarter guinea. The ideal denomination for completionists, with only 2 currency years (1718 & 1762) plus a 1764 pattern.
