    This looks to be a 1/24 Thaler, and reverse legend "RVDOL II D G Ro.I.S.A" looks Austrian to me, but I can't find the coat of arms (crowned with Audi rings and feathers?) anywhere. Being sold as "old German". Unfortunately, from 1600 it's one year too old to be in the Std Cat. What reference do I need for things like this?

    Yes, Siberian Man, but what country, province, or city? I can't find anything like the reverse coat of arms in the Std Catalog.
