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

The rules do say "Once the thread has been inactive for 30 days (I.E. no new coins played) the member (other than me) who played the last coin with the earliest date that falls within the rules will win the OP coin!"

I would like to continue also, but if we continue now, someone may not know that a 1639 is waiting to be played. A month is a loooong time to wait, considering all the interest in this thread. Maybe some wait time in between.

Sorry all, I've not been paying the proper attention to this thread as I've been in Italy the last few weeks and doing wedding related things before that.

But fear not! I will post a 1639 coin when I get back to the states so consider this post a placeholder.

*IMAGINE CURTISIMO'S EPIC 1639 COIN HERE*

 

Spoiler alert ************

John Anthony once posted an 1639 AUSTRIA/HUNGARY AR 3 Kreuzer, St. Viet mint.

Where are you @John Anthony

Panzerman once posted a beautiful 1638 gold: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/av-dukat-bamberg-1638-wurzburg-mint.276859/

 

well I am extremely sorry for skipping a year.

 

I have been out of town. Let me catch up with the years I have missed.

1641 AIRE-sur-le-Lys (under Spain) 1 Real Siege Klippe issued when city besieged by the French


Aire changed hands a number of times. In 1641 the Spaniards returned and besieged the newly installed French garrison who in turn struck siege coins. They were forced to surrender to the Spaniards in December 1641.


1640 STRALSUND Taler (32 Schilling)




1639 Archbishopric of MAINZ Anselm Casimir Wamboldt von Umstadt
Thick 3 Taler





1638 ITALY MIRANDOLA or BOZZOLO Tallero ( Imitation of Netherlands Lion Daalder)

 

Sorry, I have been working long hours with my lawn cleanups

Anyway, this coin from Emilia was struck circa 1638-40. So, lets call it a 1639....
Emilia AV Scudino d'oro da 103 Soldi ND
Duke Francesco I d'Este 1629-58

 

Thanks for alerting me...
Here is a 1638 coin from Germany...

AV Dukat 1638 Bamberg. Sorry these are older photos/ not the best quality John

 

I thought one of the rules was not to use date ranges. It’s a nice coin though.

 

I'm here! But the 3 Kreuzer sold to another CT member, so I'll let him post it if he wants...

 

No! Don't feel bad! This thread needs to keep going...I just didn't want a winning entry to be forgotten. 146 pages later it's hard to remember it was really a contest that was started thanks to @Curtisimo . Your coins are awesome!

 

1639 -- Tyrol, 3 kreuzer:



=================================================

1638 -- Salzburg, 1/9 thaler:

 

I agree! Beautifull coins

 

Anyone have an 1638 Ducat?

 

Yes, I posted it this morning from Bamberg

 

Probably, if we would have been living in Central Europe in 1638.....there would have been a good chance we had a few of these in our wallet. The lower classes used copper/ small change silver/ while the Middle Class used Talers/ Dukats/ the Upper Classes the 5/10/20/30 Dukats.

 

In order to "stay tuned", i.e. strike coins that would be similar to the official state (King of France) emissions, Gaston d'Orleans would have his effigy constantly modified on the coins he issued in the Dombes principality. Here are two different busts type on 1638 double tournois
