<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 5058212, member: 102103&quot;]Looking at my 1600s Krause guide, it seems that the all caps designations refer to variations in the legend.&nbsp; I have a couple of Sigismund III minors and I know that</p><p>there are a lot of variations for some of those, with different abbreviations or letters</p><p>left out.&nbsp; But what the rare crowned STR variant looks like, I can&#039;t be of much help</p><p>on--there are no photos in the guide for that variant in any date I could find.</p><p><a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces63466.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces63466.html" rel="nofollow">Numista</a> mentions a detailed reference book for these called &quot;Dostych&quot;.</p><p>Good luck!</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit:&nbsp; Maybe these are the mintmasters?&nbsp; The other 1627 thaler variant is</p><p>IIVE, which I believe was Jacob Jacob van Emden, mint contractor for</p><p>Krakow mint in 1624-30 (he is lister for other mints as well with other dates).</p><p>Mintmaster&#039;s initials usually are by the shield on the reverse or by the date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
