German States Lubeck 1776 Thaler

Russia 1776 Ruble


Brunswick 1776 2/3 Thaler

 

I have a couple marked 1776 - a very interesting Drury Lane ticket or tally, and a more common GB Fourpence:

 

Kingdom of Prussia - 1/3 Reichsthaler - 1776 - King Friedrich II.

 

I don't recall knowing I had 1776 dated coins. Well, I probably knew I had them, just not a conscious awareness they were 1776s!

First a Luneburg-Callenberg-Hannover one pfenning.


Then a Pomeranian three pfenninge.

 

1775:
Kingdom of Great Britain - Farthing - 1775 - King George III.

Margraviate of Baden - 5 Kreuzer - 1775 - Margrave Karl Friedrich

 

A couple of GB coppers to share - a contemporary counterfeit Halfpenny and a Regal (I believe) Farthing. For 1775 I have yet to get a decent halfpenny that is not a contemporary counterfeit!

 

France
AV Louis d'or 1775-H Habillé type
La Rochelle Mint
Louis XVI 1774-93
No idea why did did not stick to this obverse/ so much better the Bust Nue type.

1774:
Kingdom of France - Liard - 1774 - King Louis XV.

Kingdom of France - Ecu - 1774 - King Louis XV.

Louis XV. dedicated a lot of his reign to his courtisans and was rarely able to handle the absolute power that was inherited to him by his great-grandfather. But in his last years some will to reform the Kingdom seems to have sparked in him and he started an authoritarian phase from 1770-1774. It was too late for saving his dynasty but I like to think that this phase is getting represented in the harsher looking portraits his late coinage got.

 

All I have are GB coppers again for 1774. First two are halfpennies - the first is genuine (Regal) I believe, the second a contemporary counterfeit, which shows just how difficult it was to tell the apart. The last is a farthing - Regal.

 

I just posted this one on the new acquisition thread as well.
