    What other Transylvania gold do you have, O Mighty Panzerman?

    They made some crazy looking klippes, as I recall- not just square, but sunburst-shaped and such...

    I have 6 Transylvanian AV coins, they are one of my favorite Countries to collect. There are some amazing 100 Dukaten struck for Michael Apafi/ Octangular/Moon Shaped/ Star Shapes/ Klippes. Definately, these must have been designed/ struck for rich collectors back in 1550-1683. I have been working dawn to dusk since April 10th./ so have had no time to post stuff...sorry. Still able to make time at night to post proxy bids;)

    Here is my fav. Transylvanian coin.... john photos 1 030 (Medium).jpg john photos 1 120 (Medium).jpg

    I went to find out what a klippe was and they are really cool. I saw a triangle shaped one! Klippe - first new thing I learned today. Thanks @lordmarcovan.
