<p>[QUOTE=&quot;adtrace, post: 235064, member: 9101&quot;]Hello everyone, pleased to be here. I&#039;ve been a coin collector for some time, and had a neat discovery tonight when an uncle of mine pulled out a coin from 1770. He had no idea where it was from, but I am almost positive it is Maximilian III Joseph, Elector of Bavaria. The closest photo I could find on the web was a coin from 1772, but the design was entirely different so either I&#039;ve got a wire crossed or it was a different mintage.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve done some research, and I found the currency of Bavaria from 1754-1873, but this applied only to paper money so I&#039;ve no idea what the coin is called. I&#039;m assuming the 20 refers to 20 units of whatever it is? Is the coin currency the Kreuzer?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I&#039;ve attached a front and back photos, and would love any more information. There&#039;s no interest in selling, but of course if anyone had a rough kind of idea what it could be worth I wouldn&#039;t be adverse to hearing it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>(as per the images, the image quality had to be reduced about 30% for uploading, but the coin is in even better shape than it appears)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
