<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1082765, member: 39&quot;]Now that is a very comprehensive overview, Clinker! And as for that beard ...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The beard is pretty long on both varieties. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But in one case it &quot;touches&quot; the ring of beads (that is called the longer beard), in the other case the beard is 1.5 mm away from that ring. The image shows this &quot;shorter&quot; beard.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, this piece is interesting from an orthographical point of view:</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, the duke&#039;s name was Wilhelm, with two Ls. Except the coin says WILHEIM, with the second L actually being an I. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, there were five &quot;Sachsen&quot; states in the German Empire: the four you covered here, plus the kingdom of Saxony. In today&#039;s Germany there are three states that have Sachsen/Saxony in their names (Sachsen, Niedersachen, Sachsen-Anhalt). Except that the four Saxes today are in neither of the three but mostly in Thuringia, hehe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
