Those <u><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_man" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_man" rel="nofollow">Wild Man</a></u> coins sure are interesting; I know a collector in California who focused on such pieces, and anything related to Wild Men ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the Upstalsboom Taler was minted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of East Frisia becoming part of the kingdom of Hannover. The Upstalsboom (German <u><a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upstalsboom" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upstalsboom" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia article</a></u>), near Aurich, was a prominent thing (=assembly) place in Frisian history.
