<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 182858, member: 283&quot;]Here&#039;s three different examples of the small 3 kreuzer coins all issued during the time of Leopold 1 (aka `The Hogmouth&#039;).</p><p><br /></p><p>Please note the reverse legends. They give clues as to the region they were minted in and for. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The first was minted at Breslau mint in Poland. The reverse legend reads:</p><p><br /></p><p>ARCHID. AUS. DUX. BUR. SIL. 1695</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/919197.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The second was minted at Graz mint. The reverse legend reads:</p><p><br /></p><p>ARCHID: AUS: D: BURG: STYRIAE. 1698</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/919198.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The third was minted at Vienna mint. The reverse legend read:</p><p><br /></p><p>ARCHIDUX: AUST: DUX: BUR: CO: TYR. 1694</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/919196.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As you can readily see, the titles in the legends denote the areas in which the coinage was intended to circulate. They also identify the mint where they were made. You can also readily see that the Graz issue has BURG, proving my point that the spelling is no indication of `denomination&#039; size.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helps clarify.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
