<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1099416, member: 39&quot;]Thanks, Clinker! Don&#039;t know much about those older coins, but why not learn something new ... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Besides, some of these pieces are beautifully designed. What I find interesting about those coins issued after the 1837-38 coinage conventions of Munich and Dresden is the &quot;double denomination&quot;: The Vereinsdoppeltaler was 2 Thaler and at the same time 3 1/2 Gulden. The &quot;F. MARK&quot; refers to the fine weight (one mark was roughly 240 grams), and this is one seventh of a mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1863 thaler commemorates the unification of Anhalt (&quot;divided in 1603, united in 1863&quot; according to the inscription) ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
