This completes the coinage of my Austrian Habsburg HRE's...it upgrades the jetton i have of him...i've been looking at this coin for over 5 years throwing an offer from time to time, but to no avail until i went over what i said i wouldn't...ah, but here it is...finally...with me shorter of breath and one day closer to death (and i ain't gettin' no younger)...i have an upgrade for my copper Francis l coming in the mail plus today i bought coin of Ferdinand l(V), completing an Austrian emperors coinage..they will all soon be here and i'll show them when.. POST YOUR COINS N COMMENTS PEEPS! HRE Leopold ll (1790-1792) 1/4 kronenthaler, Vienna mint, 27mm, 7.33gms
Thats a really nice piece. I dont have a good example of Leopold yet but from the reign of his successor I lately received a nice coin: Holy Roman Empire - 1/2 Thaler - 1797 - Emperor Franz II. I do collect the Habsburg emperors too and if Rudolph II. and Matthias wouldnt be so damn hard to aquire I would have a line from Maximilian I. to Crown Prince Otto of Habsburg (Who was never crowned)
..its always good to reach that point..now of course, that Leopold ll is the high water mark for my Habsburgs Austrian Holy Roman Emperors/rulers..but i feel i just did a concert and i'm tired with a satisfied feeling of a deed done with a little depression to loss of a goal...
