Oh my! That is positively amazing. One of the most beautiful Doppeltalers I have ever seen. Just showed it to my wife and told her that can be my retirement gift edit: not retiring for a long time.

 

1695 Hungary,Kremnitz taler( I guess i'm developing an obsession with this type )

 

Germany Bishopric of HILDESHEIM Ernst von Bayern Reichstaler 1608

 

Italy CASALE Vincenzo I Gonzaga Scudo (12 bianchi) n.d.(1587-1612)

 

1999 Canada 1 dollar. Rather new in comparison to the previous postings...

 

This is the Crown from the matt proof set 1902 that I picked up last week. The rest are in the Newest acquisitions thread.

 

A wonderful example, Paddy.

 

Rather new but very attractive and with a link back to 1774 when, I discovered, Juan Perez led an expedition which made the first documented sighting of the Queen Charlotte Islands off British Columbia. I had never heard of him or his expedition. The Spaniards were an adventurous lot !

 

Here are 2 Turkish 20 kurush crowns and also below is a German 5 mark, Italian 5 Lire, and Great Britain Trade dollar. These were recently sent in to NGC.

I’m quite fond of these two.

 

Germany Duchy of BREMEN & VERDEN Karl XI of Sweden Taler 1673

 

These are all such pretty coins!

 

Germany City of HILDESHEIM Emperor Matthias Taler 1619



And HILDESHEIM Emperor Ferdinand II Taler 1626

 

1938 Netherlands 2 1/2 gulden "Grof Haar"

 

What does "Grof Haar" mean? Like "Big Hair" ?

 

"Coarse hair" according to google translate. Numista calls it "deep hair lines" as opposed to the more common variety with "shallow hair lines". https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6551.html

 

Coarse hair seems an accurate description but not very respectful to a monarch

 

For comparison, here is a 1938 2 1/2 gulden with the shallow or fine hair lines. I am sure no disrespect was meant toward the queen, it is just how language works sometimes.

 

This one brought to me in the market today - Spanish Netherlands (Brabant) Ducaton, 166x (last digit obliterated). Interesting coin!

Anyone know where to find it in the Krause book? Under Spanish Netherlands in my copy (1996) they list only gold coins from Brabant, but on Numista they give a reference #72.1... ?
