    Hi everyone,

    I normally hang out on the ancients board but have also dabbled in medieval/world coins. For some reason the kreuzers of Austria and southern Germany appeal to me (roughly 1600 - 1800 time frame) and I would like to have more information on them and some sort of a plan before I buy any (which is the exact opposite of the random approach I've taken so far).

    Can anyone recommend a good reference guide for these? Preferably in English and with some history thrown in as well. I have a couple of the relevant Krause books which seem to have a pretty good list of the coins but not much else.

    Thanks!

    Not sure what you're going to find in English beyond Krause.

    Perhaps @chrisild might know?

    Unfortunately he doesn't. ;) Partly because I am only peripherally interested in those coins, but also because I am not really familiar with English language numismatic literature. Hope somebody else can chime in here ...

    This is the one which I use, but it is in german.
    It is a very detailed catalogue with much information.

    There maybe a 'downloadable' PDF version on-line you could browse.

    Ausgezeichnet! (that is one of the few words I can remember from German class in university about 35 years ago - I think the "s" is supposed to be an esszett). Thanks for the responses - I will check out the book recommended by Eduard.

    Not that it matters much but ... nah, you spelled it just right. :)
