<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 98616, member: 4373&quot;]Ian, thank you very much for your wonderful pictures! I think I am beginning to see some hope with a particular coin that I have. </p><p><br /></p><p>I seem to see some sort of overstriked coins with the Austrian (perhaps Dutch?) thalers. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is an example that I see:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.imb4u2.myby.co.uk/stuff/DucatonFlanders1670obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ian, can you please tell me more about the 1627 crown? I got some infomation that it is a Spanish Dutch coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>(sorry, but will have to go OT here)</p><p><br /></p><p>I am currently researching an Anna ruble that I have that is clearly an overstrike of a foreign coin. The sad fact is that I am not too well versed with European coinages and will need some help here. Some infomation can be read here, which I have posted in coinpeople: <a href="http://coinpeople.com/index.php?showtopic=2800" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coinpeople.com/index.php?showtopic=2800" rel="nofollow">http://coinpeople.com/index.php?showtopic=2800</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the coin that I am facing trouble with: </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img378.imageshack.us/img378/7218/1730editedlines9zy.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img379.imageshack.us/img379/3350/negativeanna1jb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My best bet is that the underlying coin cannot be a Russian coin as it seems that the scepture is not a typical Russian one, which you can see in red. The Russians were nasty enough to use European crowns in their coinages due to shortage of planchets...</p><p><br /></p><p>I know I am asking almost an impossible task here but I thought, you might know some European silver crowns that might have a scepture located around that area...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
