    Here is an email address where you can report your coins that are currently unlisted in Krause.If you have done a study of the mintmarks on coins,such as the Euro coins,& you know that Krause hasn't got that information,then now's the time to let them know.You can email them at michaelt@krause.com .

    GDJMSP,this coin is from one of the ecclestiastical states in Germany.The ruler's name is Hieronymus.
    It could be a Convention Thaler by the look from this photo.

    I know what it is. But you seem to be pretty good with the ineternet so I wanted to see if you could figure out what it is. But it's not a thaler.

    Perhaps it could be a 20 Convention Kreuzer or something like that.It is very hard to tell from a photo the size though.

    Is it an Austrian Ducat?

    I know that it is not from Westphalia,even though King Jerome Bonaparte was titled 'Hieronymus' on his coins.Besides,it is far too early to be from Westphalia anyway.

    GDJMSP,that clue is a giveaway.It is a coin from Colloredo-Mansfeld,which ruled over an Austrian state.'Graf' is the German for 'Count'.I didn't know there was a Count Hieronymus though.As to the denomination,I cannot tell.

    Well you're narrowing it down - but not quite there yet. He was more than a Count - and the coin was not struck under his auspice as Count but as something else.

    The important parts are - what Austrian state, the denomination of the coin ( I've already stated its size, weight & metal ) whose authority it was struck under - and why it is unlisted.

    Keep tryin ;)

    Sorry for the delay in a response Aidan - somehow I missed your first request :eek:

    But you're really gonna hate yourself - the answer was right here on Coin Talk :eek:

    Answer

    And if you look at Ian's reply -
    Saltzy was a major clue as the coin was struck in the Austrian state of Salzburg.

    But to be totally honest - if you had been able to tell me what that particular coin is I would have been utterly amazed as I only know of one other person who could do so - and I bought it from him. This is excepting of course others who I have previously discussed the coin with - like Ian.

    As stated in the thread I linked to - the coin is an off metal strike, silver, of a gold ducat struck in 1782 KM 452.

    GDJMSP,I didn't know of the connection between Salzburg & the Colloredo-Mansfeld family,& I didn't
    know that the coin was a silver off-metal strike of a Ducat.Thanks for spilling the beans.

    Hieronymus Graf Colloredo was the Bishop of Salzburg - the gold ducat was struck in commemoration of the 1200th Anniversary of the Bishopric of Salzburg.

    Sylvester,of course,it isn't,as it isn't either British or British Commonwealth at all.
