<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 15174704, member: 77704&quot;]You have to wonder/ back in 1713....</p><p>This part of the World had been a &quot;Ottoman&quot; vassal state. The last Prince Michael Apafi struck some coinage that would be regarded as &quot;collector coins&quot; He struck awesome 100 Dukaten/ some were in star/ moon shapes. After 1689 the HRE Leopold I took over the Principality/where it became part of the HRE.</p><p>So were other coins found and melted down? Transylvania struck tons of AV coins from One Dukat upto 40/60/ 100 Dukats. The coin in question was heavily circulated shown by worn condition. Collectors want perfect MS coins if possible/ so why would a fake coin be made in 1713 in that horrible quality? It can only be an original imitation produced by Dacians to pay their warriors/ or some Roman usurper in order to pay his loyal soldiers. So these crude coins were struck by amateur moneyers??????[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
