    Correct. AE bronze; 15 shekels denomination. Tough coin to flip using your thumb before a football game. :)

    What a haul: I add mine. Sorry, but I purchased it in the slab, don't worry, it won't be in there long.

    Transylvania’s first regular issue machine-struck Taler was issued by Sigismund Bathori in 1590. I think that by 1662 all the coins were machine struck, although a flan that size must have caused some challenges.
