    Larger pics as always on my site. On 98% of the pages onsite if you click the first-level images you will get larger ones.

     

    This coin is a filler or just a small step up. It has been harshly cleaned which removed what appears to have been an old lacquer job. Pretty porous.

  2. 1790 Duit, Netherlands (Utrecht)

    Strangely enough in all the years I've collected my theme this is only the 2nd coin I've picked up from the home provinces. I count the VOC coins in Netherlands East Indies. Does anyone know why they issued duits in silver as well? I assume they must have been physically smaller (didn't see a picture in Krause).

  3. 1797 1 Solidus, South Prussia.

    A coin that could be placed under Poland (Krause does in the 3rd edition) but issued by Prussia. Poland was partitioned by its neighbors in hte 1790s and South Prussia was part of Prussia's "take". Russia and Austria were the other bad neighbors...
