If I was allowed to, I would!
Me too!

Wow, so you're wallpapering a room in the theme of banknotes eh?
Nice actually, one fun thing you can do is give a friend a 10,000 (rouble?) note and watch their eyes...

This Thaler is from Saxony right?
Very nice
hehe, I assume you meant the upgraded 1/48 thaler...
-
Wonderful stuff! And I love the history, without it they're just hunks of metal after all, even if beautiful in their own right.

I like the 1812 Thaler, it has character.
Yeah, this is what it's an upgrade from:
They're tiny things and this second one, worn nearly flat, is how most of them survived.

1801-10 The Sovereigns of Europe, Great Britain
BHM 704 #5
22mm
Part of a box set produced at some point in the decade 1801-1810. Oddly enough no amount of research or references can narrow its production date more than that.

1813 Bataille de Pampelune, Great Britain
Bramsen 1275
26mm Link
These little medals were released over a period of three years and added victories with each release. They doubled as 1/2 penny tokens and were used as money by British troops in both Spain and Canada. Because of this latter use they are often listed as Canadian tokens but in fact were primarily a Spanish campaign issue.

Geez, where do you find this stuff!?!?
Hehe. I'm old and I've collected a long time...

1813 The Surrender of Pamplona, Great Britain
Bramsen 2254
BHM 765
d'Essling 1423
Eimer 30a
Mudie XXV
41mm Link
BHM says:
"The town of Pamplona, the capital of Navarre, was captured on the 31st October 1813; it was the concluding event in the war in the west of Spain."
Struck in 1820 as part of Mudie's commemorative set this has some interesting issues on the reverse. I'm not certain whether the letter W had become part of the English language yet; I know it was one of the last letters added. In any case the capital W in TOWN on the reverse is made up of VV (two V's). Close examination of the W in WELLINGTON looks like it may be the same though merged more completely. The reverse is also doubled slightly.

1813 Arquebuse de Château-Thierry, France
Bramsen 1316 var
d'Essling 1848
26mm Link
After the Russian debacle Napoleon scrambled to rebuild his army. In addition to the usual ploys of calling up younger and younger drafts he turned National Guard units into regular army. These National Guard units had their duties assumed by locally raised militias such as this one.
