Another 1706 Munster taler

 

1706, Victories over Louis XIV, 43mm.

 

Very nice specimen there Chris!

I used to have a French ecu of Louis XIV of 1706. Paris mint I recall, flan neuf (not restruck) in NGC-64. But I sold my whole French collection the 1st year of my divorce & no pics can be found.

Stunning talers there @wcg. Why does it say Sede Vacante on the 1st one?

I'm also looking for a Munster thaler but an earlier one.

 

Seems to have got stuck here, so I will move it on to 1705 with this GB half crown:

 

1705 dated Dutch medal



Netherlands, Pieter Codde, 1705 Medal
Pieter Codde (Coddaeu) Archbishop of Sebaste, Vikaris in the Netherlands.

Composition: Silver
Weight: 37.8g
Diameter: 43.9mm
(unsigned).

Obverse: Bust facing right
Reverse: Lightning from the Vatican aimed at lamb who has his foreleg on book titled RESP.(ONSIONES)(translated as "Answers")is destroyed by other lightning from the clouds. In the left foreground the Dutch lion with sword and bundle of arrows.

Van Loon IV, 467.

Pieter Codde was a big supporter of Jansenism which was a controversial religious movement during the 17th and 18th centuries in Roman Catholic history. Jansenism arose out of the theological problem of reconciling divine grace and human freedom and emphasized original sin, human depravity, the necessity of divine grace, and predestination. He was suspended from his office in 1702 by Pope Clement XI due to this. A very impressive medal full of interesting symbolism.

And one of the most important (to me) items in my collection. The first Wildman coin I ever purchased.

 

I guess time for 1704
Mecklenburg-Schwerin/ Herzogtum
AV Viertel Dukat ND (1704)
Schwerin Mint
Friedrich Wilhelm I

 

Portugal
AV 4000 REis 1704

and a Great Britain 1704 medal for Queen Anne

Gorgeous Olmutz Thaler!

 

All I can offer is another GB Half Crown for 1704, although this one is a bit better than the 1705:

 

I think that is a very nice contribution. Great condition for being over 300 years old.

 

Here's another cob for 1704:

Viceroyalty of Peru, Lima, 8 reales, 1704 H (Francisco Hurtado).
KM 34
26.9 grams

 

Regno di Sardegna (Sardinia)
Felipe V 1700-45
Caligiari Mint
AV Scudo d'oro 1703

 

I offer you this GB 1703 Sixpence. These coins are particularly interesting to GB collectors because of the word "Vigo" beneath the bust, which indicates the coin was mad from silver captured at the battle of Vigo Bay in 1702. See : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vigo_Bay for further details.

 

Hungary 1703 1/2 Thaler

 

I have always wanted one of these but, for some reason, never got around to finding one.

 

HRR - Medal - 1703 - Visit of the Habsburg candidate for the spanish throne to the Leipzig Autumn Fair (Here as King Carlos III.). He later will become Emperor Charles VI. and loose the spanish throne.

 

Here's another cob.

Viceroyalty of Peru, Lima, 8 reales, Philip V, 1703 H.
KM 34
26.51 grams



And a British crown, Anne, "Vigo".
