i have lots of 97s
Brandenburg-Preussen
AV Friedrich's d'or 1797-A
Berlin Mint
Friedrich Wilhelm II 1786-97

 

A few here for me.
A Wroxham Marle Pit threepence token


A 10 leaves penny (Peck 1132), previously hopelessly overgraded by NGC as a 65! But it was cheap.


And an 11 leaves penny (Peck 1133A), this time with the anomalous reverse die where the normally incuse dots on the rock behind Britannia are raised. I believe just the one die is involved for this variety.


A restrike pattern halfpenny Peck 1169. I like this one.


And a silver example from the same dies. Peck 1163.


A pattern penny showing the two unadopted designs with the large bust and ornate Britannia. Peck 1096.


The rest need reimaging, but I have a couple scans.
Peck 1161 halfpenny. This was one of Taylor's earliest restrikes before he had done any die polishing and shows the rusted state of the dies acquired in the Soho mint closure sale.


And a KH6 halfpenny, Peck 1153.

 

With GB coins, the coppers are the only circulation coins for 1797 and I have none from anywhere else. Rob has covered it well, but here are 3 of mine:
10 Leaves Penny:

Twopence:

and this modern fantasy(?) piece that I never really found out much about (sold several years ago):

 

Bern
AV Duplone 1797

 

Hit wrong button/ still early....daa!

 

I have a bunch from 1797, mostly tokens. I am only posting a few that I haven't seen anyone post yet.

Papal States


And the rest are provincial tokens

 

I will skip the cartwheels, etc. Achen XII Heller, Indore rupee AH1211, and the USS Constellation token or medal which was made from salvaged copper nails and sheathing when the vessel was refurbished. It was supposed to allow one lifetime free entry to the ship in Baltimore, though I think they have reneged on that one.

 

my third 97
Ottoman Empire
AV 1/2 Zeri Mahbub AH 1203/10 (1797)
Kostantiniye Mint
Selim III 1789-1807

 

Three German states 1797s . . . let's make that four.


First up is a 32 schillinge by Mecklenburg-Schwerin.


Then a 32 schillinge from Lubeck.

Then a very worn Prussian one-third thaler.

Finally, an eight schilling from the beautiful city of Hamburg. Very worn, heh?

 

Wasnt at home for the week but here some good old 97s
Holy Roman Empire - 1/2 Taler - 1797 - Emperor Franz II.

Kingdom of Prussia - 1 Grossus - 1797 - King Friedrich Wilhelm II.

 

1796:
Kingdom of Sardinia - 20 Soldi - 1796 - King Victor Amadeus III.

 

Thanks for getting us to 1796!
Frankfurt/ Freistadt/ Under French Occupation
AV Dukat 1796
Frankfurt Mint

Historical Note: Friedrich II der Grosse would look down from Heaven in disgust. His Prussian Army once the best in the World/ got beaten in 1792 at Valmy by a ragtag French Army recruited during the "Reign of Terror".

 

Coin I bought from Raffler/ MA -shops

Rostock/ Imperial City
