1713 German/French coin? Max Emmanuel??

I won this coin on ebay for $8. The seller did not know what it is exactly so I thought I would ask on here. It is dated 1713, quite thin, has "Max Eman" on it, clearly circulated, and is around the size of a quarter. Any help on what it is exactly would be greatly appreciated.

NOS,try looking up under 'Cologne' in the German chapter of your 18th Century Krause.

Aidan.

 

I don't think you'll find it under Cologne. Maximilian Emanuel was duke of Bavaria 1679-1726 and elector of the Holy Roman Empire, but I don't find any match under Bavaria.
He was also governor of the Southern Netherlands and received from Philip V of Spain the sovereignty over the the duchy of Luxemburg and the county of Namur (1711-1714).
Some coins for Namur were issued in his name. Your coin could be Spanish Netherlands/Namur 1 liard KM#26. Unfortunately Krause doesn't give an image.
It is discribed as: Obv.: armoured bust of Maximilian II Emanuel left. Rev.: ME monogram with legends: COM.P.R.S.R.I.ARC.&ELE.L.COM.F.H.&N.

My Krause book only goes to the 1760s Aidan but I think bart is really on to something. The legend on my coin is not a complete match but is very similiar with only a couple letters here and there different. I tried typing in coins of Spanish Netherlands on google but of course hardly find anything of use. I wonder how people identified coins before the internet and even the Krause books came along? Anyways, does anyone here know for sure where the coin is from???

 

NOS:
It might help if you provide full legends from obverse and reverse.

 

When Doug and Roy were young collectors,the reference books were carved on rocks or tree bark.
(just testing to see if they're on the job)

 

Thank you for the renewed interest Andrey5. The obverse reads: MAX.EMAN: D.G. U.B.S.P.?.LL.&?UX
The reverse reads: F?&NA.CO?.P.R.S.R.I.AFC.&.ELE.L.L.COM
Thanks, NOS

 

I would agree with Bart in identification of this coin as 1 liard of Spanish Netherlands, duchy of Namur KM#26. For this catalog number, according to Krause, legend vareities exist.

The obverse legend
MAX.EMAN: D.G. U.B.S.P.B.LL.& G.DUX stands for Maximillian Emmanuel, by the Grace of God, Duke of both Bavarias and the Upper Palatinate, Brabant, Limburg, Luxemburg and Gelders.

The reverse legend
COM.P.R.S.R.I.AR.&.ELE.L.L.COM FH&NA. stands for Count Palatine of the Rhine and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire, Landgrave of Leuchtenberg, Count of Flanders, Hainaut and Namur
