hiho Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 That 1656 silver ship jeton is quite nice Ian. Bonus having it struck in copper too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Moving swiftly backwards........here's a 1652 `wildman' taler from Brunswick Luneburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Here's a 1651 silver jeton issuedby Louis Gonzaga of Nevers and Henrietta of Cleves. They set up a fund for disadvantaged young females and each year a purse containing silver jetons (I am unsure as to the quantity) was awarded. It should be borne in mind that although jetons were not exactly `money', silver was (at least the basis of it). As such these jetons (roughly equivalent to 1/3 of an ecu) were readily translated into `goods or services'. This one is a small billon 1/2 batzen dated 1650 from Bavaria I'm out for the next few years unless I find some time to search through the coins i've still to scan.

Ian Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 It's been a few days since anyone has posted a coin to this thread, so here's my `two for the price of one' jeton, dated 1647 -1648 . Issued in 1648 for M'sieu Lescot who had the job of acting as Receiver General for the Paris administration ( that part responsible for chasing after debtors large and small / liquidating their assets or sending them to gaol (without passing go or collecting 200 livres!).

ElleKitty Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Bump! It's been a couple weeks... No one has a 1647 to add? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benz Gemz Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Well I can jump in when we get back to 1536. I just don't have much modern coinage! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I'm out until 1586 and 1580, then I'm out out. I have some ancients and byzantine coinage, but it's all undated. For that matter, what IS the first consecutively dated coinage...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawandz Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 what IS the first consecutively dated coinage...? Hi Vfox and everyone. I've wondered this myself. The oldest coins that I have found with consecutive dates are ancient Judaean coins. The Roman Prefects Caponius (6-9 AD) and Ambibulus (9-12 AD) had dates on their coins. For example: LM-Theta= 9 AD LM=10 AD LMA= 11 AD Unfortunately the only example I have of one of these is hardly worth showing because it was struck so off center and worn that the date isn't even on the coin.

Vfox Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Welcome to CoinPeople Jawandz. Thanks for the info, although I doubt we will consecutively make it back to 12CE, it's nice to see an example of something that old maintained dates at all.

hiho Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Welcome to CoinPeople Jawandz! I'm still standing by with two 1638 Dutch Lion Daalders. I'm prepared... Until then we still need a 1647. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiho Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Bump for the holiday season! Did the thread finally run out of steam? I'm good with not one but two 1638's. 1647 may just be a difficult date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiho Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Uh, oh, are we defeated?? NEVER! Perhaps a decent 1647 will catch my eye at the New York International Numismatic Convention on Sunday. You never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 OK guys, I finally managed to get some of my collection unpacked and found this one which hopefully will be of some interest to you.
