Thanks! The Velázquez painting refers to a siege by the Spanish on the city of Breda in 1624, which resulted in the surrender of the city and its incorporation into the Spanish Netherlands, an event in the Eighty Years War that ultimately led in 1648 to the Treaty of Münster and independence of the Dutch Republic from Spain.

 

For 1634 I only have a single offering.

This Potosi 8 reales cob, due to the crude strike, has a clear date for 1634 on the cross side. Sometimes sloppiness pays off!

@Chris B - Outstanding! No question that is one of Brunswick's best designs across all talers.

 

I am catching up my reading.....that 50 reales is simply amazing. Stunning.

 

For 1632 I have this Erfurt (German States) Thaler issued during Swedish Occupation

Woo hoo - 1632 Erfurt talers across the board! I just picked this one up recently at the Money show in Oklahoma City. Its interesting to see all the die differences

 

Exactly. I love that.
