<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 8260754, member: 1765"]I was going to say some of the lettering was in the style of West Friesland. The "TRA" typically means Utrecht, but there was no shield mint mark and the legend, "PRO:REG•TRA" isn't Dutch provincial. Glad you found the Transylvanian one. There are other imitative ones from Italy and Germany, I think. I would use the term "imitation" to refer to something more like a counterfeit, and as far as I know, these other issues were good silver. I still have a few Dutch issuers to go before I start looking for the others, although I'm not holding my breath for finding a Zutphen issue I like and could afford. Schulman has an auction in a few weeks, so we'll see how that goes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking forward to seeing them.
