<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DEA, post: 3161513, member: 90140&quot;]Beautiful coins! Thanks!&nbsp; And extra thanks to Chris B for the great background.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a 1600 Pfalz-Zweibrucken, three kreuzer (one groschen) for your viewing pleasure.&nbsp; Well, it&#039;s not much to look at but considering 400 years, it&#039;s not too bad.&nbsp; The count at that time was was John the Elder (Johann I der<font size="4"> Ä</font>ltere), as can be made out on the obverse (&quot;IOHA&quot;), and Rudolf II was the Holy Roman Emperor (reverse - &quot;RUDOL II&quot;). I&#039;ve got it nailed down to KM# 2.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This little coin holds a special place in my mind.&nbsp; It was minted in Zweibrücken, where approximately 322 years later my grandfather was born and grew up.&nbsp; His family had lived there for at least one generation before he was born. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]811611[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
