Seems to be tiocking over fairly slowly here, so here is 1681 - GB Crown:

 

I'll be back in at 1680.

 

Here's an odd coin. This is a contemporary imitative lion daalder of unknown origin, perhaps Ottoman Empire or points east, perhaps Indonesia (Java). It appears to be dated 1681, though that 8 could be a 3, with the obverse legend ending in TRA, for Utrecht, which it obliviously is not from. It weighs 21.3 grams and the flan is relatively small.

 

Great coin! I think its a "3"

Thanks for sharing!
