elverno Posted January 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 1791 20 Kreuzer, Austria 27.5mm Link Leopold II ruled only a few days more than 2 years. A result of this is the relative scarceness if anything bearing his image. Like all Austrian coinage of the period the bust wears away quickly.

elverno Posted January 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I have to say that I've always liked the Austrian 20 kreuzer throughout the entire Napoleonic era. They went through Joseph II, Leopold II and Francis II (I) with fairly minor changes (besides the bust of course) but each variety is a satisfying coin to hold in your hand. The only problem was that the bust(s) were extremely shallow in the engraving and almost no actual wear reduced them to VG in appearance. The 1791 is probably VF+ or XF- for type and some, like this 1815 piece: practically don't exist in a higher grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elverno Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 c. 1807 Alexander the Great, German States 16.5 x 15.5mm Link A scarce jeton from the Lauer workshop in Nuremberg. What is uncertain is the date, anything from 1806 through 1852 is possible. The certainty is that this is the work of Johann Jacob Lauer and from the workmanship is probably early in his career. Also around 1807 Napoleon was often compared to Alexander the Great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
