We are missed 1583!

 

Sorry, I figured since we were on 1584 for sometime, that no one had a 1583. So. calling anyone with a 1583

Q

 

@panzerman Your 1585 Dukat shows St. Christopher
carrying the Christ child across a river during a storm.
Whether there really was a St. Christopher is still debated
today. The name Christopher translates loosely to
Christ holder/bearer. Real or not St. Christopher has been
adopted as the patron of travelers in most Christian religions.

 

I enjoy this thread and like adding when I can. That said, I am tapped out until the 1560's.

 

I'm queued up behind Chris B. I'm out until 1567. But I rather enjoy seeing your awesome coins and learning so god-awful much interesting things. Thanks to all! Keep it up. Please!

 

I can come in again at 1575 - looking forward to it!

 

@PaddyB
Hmmm ... that's interesting. Your last coin was in 1592. My last coin was in 1592. My next coin is 1575 and so is yours. Some coincidence. I have one more after that 1571.

 

I can play all years from 1581 to 1574, then a gap until 1555

Q

 

We've already had a 1582 (top of this page from @panzerman ) so play on with your 1581!
I have a few more after 1575 - back to 1554 when I am out (at the moment!).

 

Here are two from me for 1582 (I thought I had already posted theStolberg but it does not seem to be here) and one for 1581.

Thank goodness. I found myself shopping on eBay this morning for something dated 1581. Then thought, what are you doing.
