<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 1843363, member: 57364&quot;]Dont give up on old Ferdinand that quick ! You can come a lot further in attribution with this coin.</p><p>As i hinted, this looks like a low countries copper. As i said the arms are that of Bavaria, but not fully, as there is also a centre shield. This will be the coat of arms of the local domain for which the coin was issued. (This is not always the minting place) In addition the text on the reverse seems to start with Com.. That&#039;s nice because Ferdinand had many different titles for different domains like Duke, Count and Prince. The Com.. implies that he was count of this domain (Comes)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So we have his title as Count, and a centre shield with horizontal bars.</p><p>Now it would come in handy if you would speak Dutch. Assuming you don&#039;t, i&#039;ll give you that one. Then within a minute you arrive at this site:</p><p><a href="http://www.duiten.nl/luikvanaf1612.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.duiten.nl/luikvanaf1612.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.duiten.nl/luikvanaf1612.html</a></p><p>There you take your pick from the ones with Ferdinand as &quot;Comes Lossensis, Graaf van Loon&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
