[Game] World Coins Time Machine… Counting Backward by Year! (Plus Prize Coin)

I hope so. The genuine Dombes 1669 1/2 ecu he just posted has the same reverse arms and on the obverse the bust of the lady who started it all, Anne-Marie-Louise de Bourbon.

Q

 

If there is now time for 1665, here is (Sweden again) 2 Mark 1665 of the 2nd series (of 7).
The 2 Mark coins come in many different varieties and variations. The year 1665 has (at least) 5 to me known varieties (does anyone know of more?). This is variety #5 of 1665 with the more common reverse where the king is facing left. In fact, there is only one year in this series with the king facing right = 1664.

1st series: Types A+B (1661-1664) 29.5-31 mm 10.4 grams Ag 750

2nd series: Type A (1665-1674) 29-31 mm 10.4 grams Ag 694

3rd series: Types A+B+C (1674-1680) 29-31 mm 10.4 grams Ag 694

4th series: Type C (1681-1685) 29.8-30.5 mm 10.4 grams Ag 694

5th series: Type C (1686-1697) 29.8-30.5 mm 10.4 grams Ag 694

6th series: Type D (1697) 29.5-30.5 mm 10.4 grams Ag 694
Commemorative for the funeral of King Karl XI in 1697. There were only 2000 minted and the coins were thrown into the crowds at the funeral. These are very rare today

7th series: Type E (1675) 29-31 mm 10.4 grams Ag 694
Minted in Landskrona. The only specimens, except for one known, are found in official collections (Myntkabinettet Stockholm).
Fun fact: There is a variety of Landskrona 2 Mark 1675 where the neck of the king is bare, but none were minted at the time, at least none are known. The stamps (is this the correct word in English?) are kept in Copenhagen (Denmark) and a couple of years ago a few specimens were made in silver. Also galvanic copies are known. The silver ones have high value today, whereas the others do not.

 

In English we would call them dies. Your Swedish coins are very interesting! I guess I’ll have to try to find the type D 2 Mark. It’ll go right along with the other Swedish coin I’ll never be able to find, the 1794 1/2 Skilling.
