<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 4290114, member: 42034&quot;]Wow, very impressive &amp; a double thaler too?&nbsp; Do you own this coin?&nbsp; Would it be possible to get a weight?&nbsp; I imagine it&#039;d weight around 60 grams.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>On a personal note, when I was very young (in college) I became caught up in an extreme christian splinter group movement.&nbsp; I recall one of the leaders of the movement telling me that they had a precursor in certain Anabaptist sects.&nbsp; Certainly the motto &quot;who has not been baptised will not be saved&quot; was a big part of their teachings as often even members of other &#039;christian&#039; splinter groups would have to get rebaptised.&nbsp; While they took christian teaching literally, they also became very dictatorial and heirarchial.&nbsp; A lot of what you described from the 1530&#039;s is also characteristic of their behaviors today. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any provenance or further info on these coins would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
