It is a taler dated 1593 with a clear overdate (1593/2) from Transylvania under the rule of Sigmund Bathori.

 

Second one is on omnicoin.

As long as the obv/rev are on one picture and it's the size (or roughly the size) of those on Omnicoin then it suits me fine.

 

I'm quite liberal about this.

 

I definately won't accept separate obverse/reverse pictures any more though because it creates a hell of alot more work for me.

It complies with the above :ninja:

 

It's just that for that one I spent some time a while back combining obv and rev on the one frame (and disposing of the separate images when done). I'd have to start from scratch to put it on omnicoin. :lol:

Ok.

 

Here's a James VI of Scotland silver Ryal of 1570 (aka `Sword Dollar') with a denominated value of Thirty Shillings Scots. It was also counterstamped with a crowned thistle in 1578 revaluing it upwards to Thirty Six shillings and ninepence. This was due to the rising value of suilver on world markets at the time making the silver value of the coin higher than the denominated value. So it isn't just modern times when silver pricces have seen surges upward. :ninja:
