Is there a Krause catalogue for coins dated before 1600? Any further info on this coin would be much appreciated. Thx Spanish Netherlands 1597 1 Laird Copper Sorry there is no pic. I still haven't figured out how to upload'em.
Nope, there isn't. Not much I can tell you about the coin really other than it was minted during a very stressful time in the Netherlands. 1597 was during the 80 Years War and many cities were under siege during the war. As a result, their mints had a very hard time producing coinage. So some coins from some mints are downright scarce. As for posting pics, that's easy. While typing a post just look at the bottom of your posting box, click on Upload A File. That's how you post a pic.
I have one from the same year, but mine looks different than yours. This is one of my two or three oldest coins.
Bill the Closed Mouth (William the Silent) would comment but he was already gone in that time frame.......
