I don't know much about these other than that they are both silver and date to 1758 and 1763. The first 'may' be from Holland and the second is probably from Austria. Any information would be greatly appreciated as to the denominations and the countries that these two beauties are from. Thanks, nos
The first coin is a Dutch ducaton (silver rider), not from Holland, but issued by the county of Zeeland (COM. ZEL / shield of Zeeland benezth the rider). In Krause: Netherlands/Zeeland/Ducaton KM#57 The second coin is a thaler from Hungary, issued in the name of the famous empress Maria Theresia. Around the virgin Mary the legends say: St. Mary, mother of God, Patron saint of Hungary. In Krause: Hungary thaler KM#358.1
Thank you so much for the information, Bart! My Krause only goes back to the 1770's so your info is a big help. I will be sure to write your detailed information on the coins' 2x2s!
