Kutch-Bhuj, AE 1 1/2 Dokda, VS1982/AD1926. Came yesterday.

 

Picked this up today at the WFOM in Chicago. It's upgrade as I already had a far inferior one.



Germany, Brunswick‑Wolfenbüttel, Heinrich Julius (1589‑1613), silver Lügentaler, 1596, the so-called ‘Lies and Falsehood’ Taler, Goslar, 28.84g (Dav. 9089; Welt. 628). Good Very Fine for the issue. This piece belongs to the series of so‑called emblematic Talers, which refer to the disputes between the Duke and some noble families. The Duke is symbolized by a lion crowned by an angel. The lion is attacking an ibex (Steinberg family) next to a flower (Saldern family).

 

Yay! Wild Man!

 

I concur! Thanks to whoever got us going again. Glad you were able to "fill a gap". I like it.

 

That’s really nice and clean. I’m planning on going to WFOM on Friday so maybe I’ll see you there.
