<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tradernick, post: 1673322, member: 648&quot;]Hey all.&nbsp; Thanks to Derek (dbcoinman) for posting the pic of our newp. The old German Thaler shows John baptizing Jesus, and is pretty cool.&nbsp; The reverse is supposedly scriptures but multiple German readers have been unable to translate it exactly because it&#039;s archaic....would be like us reading Shakespear.&nbsp; It&#039;s not really a Thaler, technically.&nbsp; I&#039;m a little confused why NGC dated it 1741 when the coin clearly shows a date of 1616 (reverse rim lettering).&nbsp; This is far from my area of experience but my best guess would be the piece commemorates something that happened in 1616.&nbsp; Anyone own this or seen it before?&nbsp; I&#039;d appreciate some enlightenment <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>tradernick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
