[Game] World Coins Time Machine… Counting Backward by Year! (Plus Prize Coin)

Mid 18th century is a difficult period for me. I collect mainly British coins and not many were produced in that period. Here is quite a decent Farthing for 1749:

Seems to have gone quiet here so I will move us on to 1747 - a GB Shilling:

 

1747 Defeat of the French fleet off Cape Finisterre, Eimer-616

 

Kingdom of Portugal Gold 400 Reis of Joao V (minted in 1746):

 

Afsharid Gold Mohur of Nader Shah (minted in Tabriz in 1746):

 

Wasnt able to make a post for the last week so here 1748 and 1747 together:
Kingdom of Sweden - 2 Öre - 1748 - King Friedrich I.

Netherlands - Medal - 1747 - Proclamation of Hereditary Stadtholder Willem IV.

 

Two medals commemorating death of Friedrich Karl von Schönborn, Bishop of Bamberg and Würzburg (1729-46).

1746 Bamberg medal; Zepernick 65; 38.5 mm


1746 Bamberg medal; Zepernick 350; 53.6 mm.

 

Here are two contributions, one for 1747 and another for 1746.

An 8 escudos, 1447, Lima mint. Assayer V (Jose de Vargas y Flor).



A round "royal" 8 reales cob, 1746, assayer q (Luis de Quintanilla) purchased from Freeman Craig back in the early 80s.

 

I have been gone for 2 weeks so will catch up a bit:

Friedberg 1747 2/3 Thaler


Malta 1747 Grano


Bishopric of Würzburg 1748 4 Kreuzer


turns out that I don't have anything for 1746.

 

1745 George II "Lima" sixpence.

The "Lima" part is attributed to England bragging about the silver they took by force from the Spanish Empire. This piece was made from it. They are supposed to be common as coin from this era go.

In those days, one nation could take from another and brag about it to their citizens. It's still done, but not as much in the open.

 

1745 Carlisle Recaptured, Eimer-600

 

1745 Prince Charles, The Young Pretender, Eimer-595a

 

Here is the GB shilling for 1745 - this one without the "bragging" LIMA below the bust and instead with roses in the angles on the reverse. This is scarcer than the LIMA equivalent.

 

Brazil 1745 6400 Reis


Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel 1745 mining thaler
