<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mkivtt, post: 26536854, member: 42887&quot;]Two more piedforts (double weight presentation strikes, very rare) from the Zeeland province of the Dutch Republic. I&#039;m trying to complete the entire piedfort set (perhaps 50 coins in total), which I&#039;m not sure if anyone&#039;s ever done before. Some piedforts have just one or two known examples. These two have the pedigree of the Vinkenborg collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>1753 (no line under &quot;ST&quot; die variety; I already own the variety with line)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691291[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>1754</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691290[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>1738 over 1737 ducaton, Zeeland. Poor condition but very rare.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691292[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Goetz &quot;Pact of Malice&quot; medal, word war 1. Very interesting imagery.</p><p><i>The dramatic symbolism on this medal reflects the bitterness felt by Germany towards the secret Treaty of London signed in April 1915 between the Allies and Italy – the so-called ‘Pact of Malice’. France, Britain, Russia, Serbia and Japan are depicted as a many-headed hydra, while Italy is represented as a suckling boy.</i></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1691293[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1691294[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>All ungraded. I&#039;ll have them graded later. Fingers crossed the piedforts aren&#039;t cleaned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
