harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 01/29/2013 11:30 am The word TRAN ISVLA NIA or "Tranisvlania" is found on a 2-stuiver of Overijssel of the United Provinces of the Netherlands from the year 1619. What does "Tranisvlania" mean in Dutch? I read on a google translation of a forum in Dutch that it translates into Overijssel, one "of the United Provinces of the Netherlands." But that seems quite odd considering the word TRANSYL-VANIAE or "Transylvaniae" is found on coins from the Hungry/Poland area during the same period, namely 3 and 6 groschen coins dated 1597, 1598, 1609, a Taler from 1589, as well as a 3 groschen 1608 having TRANSYL VANI. This seems like the same word, but in a different language or dialect. Were the Dutch reaching over into Hungry or Poland during this era? Report this Post to the Staff

Sander Pillar of the Community Netherlands 561 Posts	Posted 01/29/2013 12:25 pm It's a Latin translation of 'Overijsel"... But the die makers had some different translations I guess. Because there are different ones: TRANSISVLANIA, TRASISVLANIA and TRANSISALANIA. also TRASISVLANIA is found on some Doits...
