Not a coin of course. But if that is what you like and consider to be "the best" ...

My 2 thalers from various states

Saxony


Nassau



Bavarian 2 Thaler

 

More 2 thalers from Prussia, Saxony, Hanover, Baden and Frankfurt

 

those are amazing. I collect coins from Baden also. that 1 from Hannover and the 1 from Saxony are making me drool. lol

 

Here's one. Old cleaning, but I still kinda like the look of it.

 

Reuss is an interesting area also because the only ruler depicted on the coins is a Henry. In both countries (Reuss-Gera/Younger Line, where your coin is from, and Reuss-Greiz/Elder Line) the princes, ruling or not, were all named Heinrich. (Goes back to 12c HRE Emperor Heinrich IV.) The Elder Line numbered them from 1 to 100 and then started again; the Younger Line would start with 1 at the beginning of each century.

Here's the only one I have at the moment


But for the OP here is a polish piece for you

 

Picked up a nice 3 Mark coin this week and received some nice Euro coins from a friend in Germany.

Nothing dramatic...but I enjoy them, Bavarian victory thaler & 2/3 thaler from Saxony.

 

Hannover - Commemorative - 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo - Mintage 15,000 - Given to veterans in their pension payments.

 

Latest arrival...

 

Silver Drei Reichsmark from the Weimar Republic dated 1928 D, commemorating the thousandth anniversary of the foundation of Dinkelsbuhl.

 

Very nice indeed. Love the designs and the toning. I have a few but will post photos later when I get them out of the bank. Enjoy your collection.

 

Not German I know....but close enough . Its the only one I have pictures of in the house.....Maria Theresia Souverain......

 

wow sweet coin. where is this coin from ? country ? is it gold ?

 

Dr Hugo Eckener was the director of the Zeppelin Reederei for a number of years before he was pushed aside during the political upheaval after the rise of the nazi party.

After WWI in order to get the Zeppelin company back into business and in order to satisfy debts to the United States he successfully lobbied for the sale of an airship that was manufactured as LZ-126 in 1924. The airship was flown across the Atlantic that year, the first successful navigation over the ocean by an airship. Though the airship was flown to Lakehurst with hydrogen it was subsequently converted to use helium.

The US Navy took delivery of the ship which was named the USS Los Angeles - it had the distinction of being the only rigid airship in the naval service that was not lost to an accident, the ones manufactured under license by Goodyear in the USA were all lost to accidents during the 1930s.

 

Thanks. It is an Austrian Sovereign or Souverain as they say in Mainland Europe. Unlike the Maria Theresa silver thaler which are 99.99% re-strikes (as there are only about 7 known originals), this is the real deal. I love it .......and yes it is 22k gold.

 

sweet. I have a 18th century Krause catalog. gonna look it up now. brb...
