Message:: [QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 3942048, member: 102103"]My first "wildman" type coin, I think...  But the tree on the wrong side of the coin?  My 1700s Krause guide shows the tree in the left hand (right side) and this guy seems to be the opposite.  It's not a pricey enough coin for me to expect it to be a fake, and the wear seems genuine, so I'm not sure what's going on.  Any advice would be welcomed! <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces19425.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces19425.html" rel="nofollow">Here's</a> one from Numista, type "IBH" and someone has added a different type, "IAP" in the comments.  I presume these are the engraver's initials.[ATTACH=full]1039149[/ATTACH]  Edit:  Maybe the dealer attributed it wrong?  <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces39885.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces39885.html" rel="nofollow">This</a> one from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover looks much closer, and there is an "IAP" type from 1769 listed.[/QUOTE]
