elverno Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 1795 2 Pfenning, Salzburg. 20.5mm The links on the size above lead you to my website with much bigger pics. And each of the picture has one size larger by clicking on it... I really like copper from the Revolution and Napoleonic eras since it's more likely to have passed through the hands of all classes.

elverno Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 1789 20 Kreutzer, Austria. 28mm As usual the bust on Austrian money of the era seldom is more than a silhouette after it has circulated for even the shortest period of time. The 20 kreutzer is a nice type ro collect because it was struck for so many years in decent quantities and by several mints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 1815 1 Duit (or Dute), Netherlands East Indies. 22mm I'm guessing this was a transitional piece where the mint was unaware that the Batavian Republic hadn't been restored after the end of the Wars. If anyone has more information about this period in the East Indies I'd love to read about it. Also a Krause reference. I couldn't find it in my 4th edition 1801-1900. I know its there I just couldn't find it. Finally is that an H or a K on the reverse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyg Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 In my 4th edition Krause 1801-1900 (I know I ought to get a newer one!) these are not listed, that's not because they are rare but because Krause forgot to include them.... Going further back in time prior to the reorganisation of the database they were listed as KM#279, Duit, 1815H - Amsterdam Mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elverno Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 1809 5 Centimes, Westphalia. 30mm A common enough coin though this is an upgrade over the other two I own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 1827 Death of Frederick Duke of York, Great Britain. 25mm - BHM 1291 - CC While this is a very common medal this particular example is an upgrade from the first I posted.: To be fair the cr-p one above is probably the RRR silvered brass version.

constanius Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 1816 1 Thaler, Bavaria 41mm Holed of course. Which is why it cost me about bullion price. Plus the face that it's the most common year for the type with over 2 million struck. Looks like one of Sweeney Todd's victims(he finished them off with a cut-throat razor) the obverse would look better rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise so the blood flow is on the floor. I suspect I maybe watching too many forensic dramas on TV. Great deal & still a most attractive coin with character, somethings look better with age.

elverno Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 1796 1/48 Thaler, Anhalt-Bernburg 16.5mm More common is a bear walking on a wall as a symbol for this duchy. This is the last year for this four year design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 1820 Death of George III, Great Britain. BHM 1005 - N A fairly common medal although I didn't have an example in copper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elverno Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 1793 Death of Louis XVI, France. 24.5mm Hennin 482 A slightly different reverse design from what you normally see. This has two long garlands draped from the urn. Or perhaps it's just one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 The reverse on this appears to be the same as on your #484 Vern(which matches the drawing in Hennin), but the obverse portrait and the spacing between FR. & ET is quite different. It is not in Hennin, so I assume it is just an unlisted variant of 484, as the only other one of the SOL REGNI ABIIT not having ROI or REX after XVI on the obverse is #485 & it does not have(according to Hennin) IETTON in the exergue, unless of course it is a mule of #485 obverse(not illustrated, just "similar to previous") & #484 reverse Any thoughts?

elverno Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 1814 The Peace of Paris, Great Britain. 25mm BHM 806 supposedly R in brass In my experience this piece featuring Alexander I of Russia is probably more rare in copper.

elverno Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 1797 1 Solidus, South Prussia. 16mm 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...
