1608 3 Schilling Münster newp

I found a unique coin while browsing and decided to purchase it. I've got some research to do to learn about why Brabeck countermarked these coins. It might turn into a fun article. Until then, here's the coin! Special thanks to @talerman and @Chris B for their advisement.

Nice addition, lovely design.

 

I am not seeing your coin in my World Coins Catalog ?

 

Which are you using? It was in my German States catalog (3rd edition I believe?). I'll pull it up tonight and share what it shows.

 

Really beautiful coin!I'm considering buying one like this to be honest!

 

my 2003 3rd Edition. Great coin by the way.

 

Here's the info:

 

I found it in my catalog now with the help of the KM#. Interesting to know that it is made of copper.

 

Wow, that’s beautiful! Although I am partial to coins with horses on them, I have to admit.

 

Yep, that’s a münster newp alright! Love it! Any idea what the weight and diameter are?

 

Unknown at this time. I'll post when it arrives.

 

From catalog pic looks like 32mm in size. Weight not sure ?

 

I researched it before purchasing and found it was supposed to be 32mm based on other sales listings, so good work. I'm not sure about the weight.

 

It arrived!!!! :-D I'm a bit preoccupied for measurements, but here's an overlay over an Eisenhower dollar. For the record, the coin looks amazing in hand, better than the original photo.

 

Beautiful addition! I've never come across that design before.
