1578 seems to be a year for siege (necessity) coinage.

Netherlands, Amsterdam, AR siege klippe of 40 stuivers, 1578.
27.2 grams


And here's a lion daalder for 1578:

Netherlands, Lion Daalder, Batenburg Herman Diederik, 1578.
D-8575; Del 559 (R1).

For 1577 I have 2 more Brunswick Wildman Thalers

 

You got to have the, "King of Wildmen" collection on the planet.

 

I doubt it but I'm working on it. I just pulled the trigger on one today that will be one of the highlights of my collection. Will be able to post it on this thread when we go back about 15 more years.

I am in one of the dead spots in my collection. Nothing until 1573

 

I am glad we have enough great collectors like Chris, Robin and others to keep this thread going, till Tibor can post his magnificent early dated coins

 

@panzerman thank you for the kind words. I'll post 2 or 3 per year. My first break will be 1465.

 

Thanks, I thankfully have AH dated coins now to play also. The Arabs were ahead of the Christians in dating coinage.
So were the Bosphorans, they dated in BE calender in BC!
