<p>[QUOTE="Bayern, post: 3360263, member: 99002"]Ok, upon further viewing,I think your coin has the basic lettering (there are slight variations) of the Jever 28 stüber, with Anton Günther as Count of Oldenburg, Ferdinand III of Austria as Holy Roman Emperor~ but again, the arms are different. The Jever coin pictured above from my collection, and mentioned in post #7 by spirityoda, has a coat of arms featuring the Jever lion within the smaller central shield, with arms of Oldenburg appearing in 1st and 4th sections, and Delmenhorst arms appearing in 2nd and 3rd. Your coin features completely different shield devices to this~ which normally would mean it came from another area, but since we have Anton Günther as ruling count, this negates that possibility. And if your coin is copper, as it appears in your photos, then that also creates another problem, as the actual coin is .560 silver, weight of 19.5g. My conclusion is that it is a contemporary counterfeit, which is still quite collectible. But maybe other members can shed further light on this <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
