wjl Valued Member United States 329 Posts	Posted 04/09/2013 08:49 am Its not a direct repro of any coin from Salzburg of 1686. The bishop of Salzburg at that time was Maximillian Gandolph and they used 4 fold arms not 6 fold. Report this Post to the Staff
rooneydog Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 739 Posts	Posted 04/09/2013 09:40 am wjl - how many arms does this 1686 15 Kreuzer have ? http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=69152 Report this Post to the Staff
wjl Valued Member United States 329 Posts	Posted 04/09/2013 10:05 am 6, however the talers have only 4 fold arms. In the absence of a denomination one would assume that is a repro of taler. But really isn't is just a medal with the Arms of Salzburg and bishop. Also archbishops name is not on coin which would be highly unusual Edited by wjl 04/09/2013 10:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
rooneydog Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 739 Posts	Posted 04/09/2013 10:43 am I never said it was a coin I was just letting Andy know some info about the medal / token and where the image for the picture on the left came from. Report this Post to the Staff
wjl Valued Member United States 329 Posts	Posted 04/09/2013 6:43 pm ITs apparently some sort of religous medal, The legend is in latin and basically means in gods hands is my destiny. The medal besides having a city view which I assume is Festung Hohensalzburg castle has the arms of Archbishop Max Gandolph surrounded by the arms of Salzburg.
