<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1122093, member: 39&quot;]Ah, I see ... well, at least I know where these cities are. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> And I don&#039;t have anything against Prussian coins in general; it&#039;s just that coins from those other countries that I mentioned do not really belong here. Oh well, wandering topics, hehe.</p><p><br /></p><p>From my point of view, I live in a city (on the Rhine river) that was &quot;swallowed&quot; by Prussia in 1813. That status lasted for more than 100 years, but was over when Prussia was dissolved more than 60 years ago. The city formerly known as Königsberg, on the other hand, was actually in the heart of the old Prussian territory (you will know all that). In a way, even the 10 DM coin that Ripley showed in post #18 (Deutscher Orden) is related to it: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teutonic_Knights#Prussia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teutonic_Knights#Prussia" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teutonic_Knights#Prussia</a> But despite the &quot;Prussian&quot; theme it is not a Prussian coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your grandmother must have had a lucky day then. I hope she could keep what she found!</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
