<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sixsix, post: 675298, member: 20180&quot;]Danke Eduard,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yes, I had been to that sight ( I had already translated the text to some degree ) and many, many others... Been studying my older country coins as a hobby - not really a collector - just accumulated over the past 30+ years.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The only mention of a Patagon&#039;s orig. value with a photo is at this site:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.vcoins.com/world/ritter/store/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=26" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vcoins.com/world/ritter/store/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=26" rel="nofollow">http://www.vcoins.com/world/ritter/store/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=26</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It is from Flanders: 1/4 Patagon. Seems possible all of them were Minted at Antwerp and the &quot;Burg&quot; where it was used being Flanders, Brabant and Tournai.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That site also mentions Belgium and not Spanish Netherlands. Seems that area from late 1500s to mid 1600 was quite tumultous as far as ruling families, countries and land shuffling.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Seems there is a market for them - just not much info on them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would like someone who appreciates them to have them in their collection. I just wish I could describe them better.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
