World coins by Decade

I do not know, unfortunately. Here is the original thread where I posted it, with some helpful speculations. User @DEA had suggested:

"I wonder if the counter stamp on the reverse (the left picture) was because of a new head of the seminary at Wiedenbruck, or a new bishop in Osnabruck."

If anyone knows more I would love to hear it.

1691 tin halfpenny. The surfaces a little rough, but a decent grade.


1694 halfpenny on a thick flan - about 30% overweight. The coin is also remarkably round for something struck on a flywheel press, so wonder if a collar was used in this instance.


Now for something on a really thick flan that came out of Baldwin's basement. My initial suspicion was obviously it was two coins joined together, but at nearly 23g is well above twice the weight range for this issue, so would require two significantly overweight coins which would also have to be flattened on the joining faces. The surfaces are a little uneven too which is also reassuring, as it makes the flan even thicker in parts. Quirky.


William III 1700 3rd bust sixpence


1699 date in legend halfpenny. The extensive use of cast blanks being blindingly obvious here


A 1697 first issue halfpenny reading TERTIV (no S). It is also struck on a properly rolled metal blank, rather than being cast.

 

The 1690s isn't quite a prime decade, but close, with 3 coins in my set.

And one from the Edinburgh mint with the E* mintmark


Anne 1709 Maundy set


1701 halfpenny with GV/B in the obverse legend, just as per the 1694 halfpenny in the previous decade, listed earlier. Unfortunately, this one is the best of 3 I'm aware of. The worst defies description.
