<p>[QUOTE=&quot;talerman, post: 4290262, member: 89314&quot;]51.52 g. It is slightly underweight for a 2 Taler and is sometimes called a 1 3/4 Taler.&nbsp; 47 mm diameter.</p><p><br /></p><p>They never struck minors, just 2 slightly different Talers, a 1 1/2 Taler and this 2 Taler.&nbsp; This coin is considered to be original but most coins which appear in the market are later restrikes, some by the goldsmith&nbsp; J. Potthoff (†1607) with a small P on the reverse,&nbsp; some by the Münster mintmaster Engelbert Ketteler in the 1640&#039;s with a small K on the reverse but others unsigned. Some may have been struck as souvenirs for delegates to the Peace Conference in Münster in 1648 leading up to the Treaties of Westphalia ending the 30 Years&#039; War. Restrikes include a 54.38 g 2 Taler, a 44 g 1 1/2 Taler and a 16.48 g Half Taler as well as numerous Talers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
