This coin is unpublished, only one known. Bought if from Sincona "unsolds list"

 

Ready for 1596? I am and I'm bored this morning trying to keep busy at work.

I have 2 varieties of the same coin.

This piece belongs to the series of so-called emblematic thalers, which refer to the duke's disputes with some rural aristocrats. On this "lying" coin the duke is represented by a lion crowned by an angel, who tears up a Capricorn, or, the plaintiffs.

I guess, technically it isn't 2 different varieties, just different dies. The differences are most notable in the date and angel.



Obverse: 9-fold arms with central shield, 3 helmets above, wildman at right, titles of Heinrich Julius

Reverse: Date divided around Victory holding wreath flying left above lion passant left, double margin legends

 

Oops forgot I had a 1598....I loose track!
