<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DEA, post: 7834675, member: 90140&quot;]Very interesting!&nbsp; I think we&#039;re going to have to get someone who has a reference for this coin and city in German.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think KM will provide sufficient detail.&nbsp; When I first saw your post, the wheel brought to mind Mainz.&nbsp; However, my KM says the wheel represents Osnabruck, with which Wiedenbruck had a &quot;close association.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>In my 6th edition, SCWC, 1601-1700, on page 1001, is the first picture of a coin that looks like yours I&#039;ve seen.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t have the counter mark, but it has those leaves or rays or whatever they are around the edge on the reverse (left picture).&nbsp; It looks just like yours - including inscription - and is dated 1691.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if the counter stamp on the reverse (the left picture) was because of a new head of the seminary at Wiedenbruck, or a new bishop in Osnabruck.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, thanks for sharing, and I so much look forward to hearing from others much more knowledgeable than I.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; David[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
