<p>[QUOTE=&quot;talerman, post: 3459531, member: 89314&quot;]Here is a another interesting Hesse-Cassel coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>Moritz der Gelehrte (The Learned) Taler 1626</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse legend reads CONSILI_ET VIRTU_MON:NO:_AURE:IM (with prudence and effort, new imperial gold coin).&nbsp; However, the coin is silver ! It may have been struck from the die of a 10 ducat gold piece, although no such coin is known. Probably the gold coin was never struck because of the precarious political and military situation at the time. The Thirty Years&#039; War was in full swing.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]919973[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]919974[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
