I'd appreciate that,

thank you.

 

how about this england siege coin from the civil war................





Carlisle shilling......

 

That is very nice. My specialty is Dutch Art so I have a bias for Dutch coinage, and the 1672 war was the most important watershed of that period.

:rollling: Extraordinary gold coin Brooklyn, Too bad about Jetter and the Yanks tonight.

 

I'm not from the Bronx

 

A common coin might be less expensive and satisfy my desires. But I'd really like an Amsterdam strike from 1672

 

Well, 1672 is known as the rampjaar, but it sure involved a siege too.

:devil: Be interesting to see what the stock of VOC did during the "rampjaar?"

 

In a way this is a continuation of that topic, and "over there" I posted this link. That klippe, and the one that Amanda showed in the initial post of this topic, refer to the 1672 Groningen siege. I would not count the French offensive, and the reaction (Dutch Waterline), as a siege either, but we can of course be flexible.

That is interesting. I thought that the Amsterdam Munt was pressed into usage during the rampjaar. The seize of the country was enough to end the first statholderless period, assert the family of Orange to both the English and Dutch monarchy, and it might have been the olny country ever invaded and to have survived the combined might of the invasion forces of England, France and Germany. Most importantly from my interests, it abruptly ended the Golden Age of Dutch art, bankrupting most of the great artists of the time including Vermeer.

Doug, can you post a quick list of Amsterdam minted coins of the period from 1672 and backward.
