<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1313980, member: 15445&quot;]I added this coin dated 1682 to my collection this last weekend.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a listing for it in my catalogs.&nbsp; To be honest, I&#039;m really weak on the geography &amp; history associated with this coin.&nbsp; Any information you can give me would be appreciated.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>From the Internet I gleaned that the coin depicts the Great Elector Fredrick William of Brandenburg, Prussia.&nbsp; From what I can gather, the coin is from somewhere between Brandenburg in modern day NW Germany and Lithuania which would place this coin from the area that is now modern day Poland.&nbsp; Is this right?&nbsp; Fredrick William was supposedly the Duke of Prussia &amp; the &quot;Great Elector&quot; of Brandenburg during the period from 1640-1688.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is very thin and it rings when tapped with a wooden pencil so I believe it is a struck coin.&nbsp; I did not weigh it but the diameter is about 29 mm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for letting me share &amp; I appreciate your comments on the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
