<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 90907, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;m impressed - I didn&#039;t know they struck a medal with this design&nbsp; :thumb: </p><p><br /></p><p>But that&#039;s not the correct answer&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; But don&#039;t feel bad Mik - you&#039;re not the only one to have been stumped by this coin.

You woulda found the answer if ya had&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>OK - you won&#039;t find this coin in any book, at least not in a coin book. You can find it in a coin auction catalog though - if you go back far enough. The coin was meant to be struck in gold KM #452 - Fr #887, but this coin is an off metal strike pattern, struck in silver, 22mm 3.5 gm. </p><p><br /></p><p>A couple of years ago a dealer friend of mine contacted me and told me about this coin he had found. He knew I collected ducats, so he figured I would be interested in something like this. He was correct - a coin of such rarity that it&#039;s not even found in the books - how could not be correct ? </p><p><br /></p><p>So anyway I bought the coin. Now here&#039;s the surprise for you silvereagle <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the coin I bought 2 yrs ago - </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.gdjmsp.cointalk.org/coin_pics/Germany/1782%20oms%20ducat%20obv%20a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.gdjmsp.cointalk.org/coin_pics/Germany/1782%20oms%20ducat%20rev%20a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the coin I posted earlier in this thread - </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.gdjmsp.cointalk.org/coin_pics/Germany/1782%20oms%20ducat%20obv%20b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.gdjmsp.cointalk.org/coin_pics/Germany/1782%20oms%20ducat%20rev%20b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s right, I managed to find a second one&nbsp;&nbsp; :eat:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
