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

Hopefully you guys will pick up the pace. Hurry up and get to
the year 1500 A.D. I don't have anything newer, and if I did,
it wouldn't worth taking pictures of. Besides, my doctor gave
me only 20 years to live. At the rate you guys and gals are
moving I may not make it.

Probably my fault/ I have been neglecting forum/ my bad excuse "working 100 hrs a week/ little time for cointalk. I did pickup a magnificent 1619 Double Souverain d'or/ Albrecht VII & Isabella/ Brabant.

 

Here's a contribution for 1738. This coin exhibits typical characteristics for the gold coinage of Lima during the 1730's and later: narrow flans and more crudely engraved dies when compared to earlier issues.

Lima, Philip V, 8 escudos, 1738 N.
KM 38.2

 

@robinjojo What does that beauty weigh?
Looks good being well struck.

 

Seems to have gone quiet again, so here are a couple for 1737:

 

1737, Monument to John Milton by J.S.Tanner, 52mm.

 

A couple German States minors

 

I've got a 1738 halfpenny with V/S in GEORGIVS. Quite rare as the variety is clear even in sub-fine grades and I only have 7 in the database despite keeping an eye out for them. Ex Augustus Langdon (d.1874).

 

Sicily/ Spanish Kings
AV Oncia 1736
Palermo Mint
Carlo III di Bourbone 1734-59

 

A few to keep things ticking over. GB Sixpence and Shilling, then a Bavarian 3 Kreuzer:

 

Wow! You got 3 1736s

 

I have the GB halfpenny and farthing too, but they are not great shakes.
In recent times I have focussed on GB Milled Copper and silver of the 17th and 18th century, so I have quite a few from that era.

 

Just one for me 1736 Stolberg-Stolberg 2/3 Thaler

 

Electorate of Bavaria - 3 Kreuzer - 1736 - Elector Karl Albrecht

 

1736, Jernegan's Lottery medal
John Sigismund Tanner (c.1704-41) - Jernegan's Lottery Medal, silver (rct.uk)

 

Sorry for the late response..... That coin weighs 27.0 grams.

 

Uri
AV Dukat 1736/20
Altdorf Mint

"Saint Martinus helping beggar on his way to fight in Crusades"

 

Guess we can proceed to 1735

Württemberg
AV Karolin 1735 FB
Stuttgart Mint
Karl Alexander 1733-37

 

Here's an old timer that I've owned since the early 1980s. It is also a rare variety with the floret above the MF on the reverse, instead of the normal dot.

Mexico, 4 reales, Philip V, 1735 MF.
KM 94; Gilboy M-4-7-a.
13.23 grams

 

A couple of GB smalls for 1735 - Fourpence and threepence:
