    I'm not as familiar with this series as I could be & was wondering if I've ID'ed this coin correctly. The date is odd - the first 3 digits are pretty clear, but the 4th rises up & to the edge of the coin (as I've seen on most other examples of the type). What year do you make out on this?

    I'd say, this coin was released during the reign of the emperor Mathias I (1612-1619).

    Are there any mint marks that I should check for? Or were these all made at the same location?

    Also, what is the composition?
