immortalus Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Hi, I hope I've selected the correct forum for this... I've encountered a 1699 Salzburg Thaller which stroke me as a little weird.This coin has some sort of engraving on it which I couldn't find anywhere on the internet.Apart from that, the coin seems relatively standard for a Salzburg Thaller but that engraving seems odd to me and I'd like to hear your opinion on its significance (or lack of).In addition, I'd very much like to hear a 3rd party assessment of the coins value.Thanks in advance!

bill Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 The engraving is from a later date. It looks like it might have had a loop added at one time that has been removed. It was perhaps worn on a necklace or carried as a pocket piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
