  1. 1807 15 Kreutzer, Austria. 35mm From the Schmolinitz mint.
  2. 1797 1 Pfennig, Frankfurt. 20.5mm
  3. 1797 1 Pfenning, Augsburg. 19mm I like small copper.
  4. 1808 1 Pfenning, Westphalia. My Site An early piece for Westphalia that probably used a reverse die already at the Clausthal mint.
  5. 1792 ½ Penny Token, Great Britain. D&H 145 - Lancashire, Rochdale
  6. c.1790 ½ Penny Token, Great Britain. D&H 71a - Warwickshire, Birmingham, Biggs' And another from the box...
  7. 1791 ½ Penny Token, Great Britain. D&H 2 - Lanarkshire, Glasgow Every once in a while I find boxes of projects I've started and then promptly forgotten. In this case as in several others it's a small box of Conders that either needed new pics or to be put onsite at all. None of them were ever put on Omnicoin.
  8. 1794 ½ Penny Token, Great Britain. D&H 370b - Middlesex, Masonic This token was never put on Omnicoin because the pictures were so awful. I haven't a clue about the countermark.
  9. 1789 ½ Penny Token, Ireland. D & H 8 - Wicklow, Cronebane Although this is technically an update it was one of the few remaining pieces left on my site that was still a scanned image instead of photographed. This has vastly improved the color and size of the shots.
  10. Good question. The rose is described as the "Rose de Lippe" and represented Lippe-Detmold for centuries. But I don't have an answer for that. Maybe a Tudor daughter that married into the Lippe line?
  11. 1789 1 Mariengroschen, Lippe-Detmold. 17.75mm A one year type coin, made of billon.
  12. 1809 ½ Kreuzer, Saxe-Hildburghausen. 20mm Not rare, but uncommon.
  13. 1802 1 Pfenning, Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel. 20mm A nice little coin from a small principality.
  14. Plus he (she?) appears to be wearing a tube top and a mini skirt into the ring!
  15. 1795 1/24 Thaler, Hesse-Cassel. 18mm This small billon coin was also known as a groschen.
  16. Yeah, they issued 1/4, 1/2, 1 and 2 guilder silver in 1809; total mintage under 250k for the 4 types. Also they did some crazy countermarking in the same basic time period. The countermarked coins and the 3 bit pieces chopped from those coins are incredibly rare and way beyond my price range!
  17. 1805 1 Kreuzer, Hesse-Darmstadt. Billon A filler that is barely identifiable. I've picked up a few of these over time, I put them up anyways but I have no illusions about them.
  18. 1809 ¼ Guilder, Essequebo & Demarary. Don't expect better pics on my site. This thing is definitely a filler, quite scarce but waiting for a better cousin.
  19. 1797 4 Pfenning, Brunswick-Luneburg-Calenberg-Hannover. 15mm A fairly decent tiny billon coin.
  20. 1808 3 Kreuzer, Wurzburg. 18mm I discovered while putting this on my site that there were two varieties of 3 Kreuzer issued by Wurzburg in 1808. One was billon and the other silver. Interesting enough the billon is mentioned as being 21mm in size and no mention of the silver size. So one could infer that the smaller coins must be the silver ones. Yet Krause says the reverse should have the value and G. W. L. M. So do I have two undersize billon pieces or is my Krause totally whacked (scientific numismatic term)? 4th Edition BTW, p.495.
  21. 1804 1 Mariengroschen, Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel. 18mm This is a five year type with 1804 the toughest to acquire.
  22. Can you tell that you've stumped me? I never thought of it before. The number of places, mints, years is so large the I've just randomly picked things up over the years. So, you started a new project; I'm putting together a page with as many of the coin producing states as I can find from the period 1789-1815 and will build new linked pages to those that I've collected at least one example from. The first major re-organization of my site in years frankly.
  23. Yeah, "Germany" as such had literally hundreds of independent rulers, almost all of whom felt it necessary to issue a coin or two. Italy was much the same but not nearly as many places to collect as the German States. Larger places like Saxony issued tons of different denominations over centuries and others perhaps a single coin issue in a generation. Makes it fun!
