<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 5700, member: 669&quot;]Without a picture, or at least the diameter, it can&#039;t be pinned down, but check the illustrations starting on p. 716 of the Krause 17th Century volume, 2nd Ed. for silver coins from 1/4 thaler (KM#8, ~29mm) to 2 thaler (KM#17, ~50mm) , and see which one your client has.&nbsp; Values start at VG $30 for the 1/4 to XF $1,250 for the 2.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW - The 61 German States - Aachen to Wurzburg - occupy 522 pages (out of 1272)&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> in the 17th Century Krause volume!</p><p><br /></p><p>The inscription &quot;Iohan Georg et August frat. et duces Saxon&quot; means &quot;Johan Georg and August, brothers, Dukes of Saxony&quot;.&nbsp; The historical note at the beginning of the Saxony listings (p.707) lists Johann Georg I and August as joint rulers from 1591-1611.&nbsp; I have no idea what the rest of the inscription means, and it isn&#039;t listed in Krause.</p><p><br /></p><p>FYI - the key to finding the coins was the listing of inscriptions at the back of the book.<img src="http://sc.communities.msn.com/themes/pby/img/emoticons/emwink.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
