Really fantastic coins being posted here - wow! I've got a couple more identified, but they don't hold a candle to the other beauties here. German States - Archbishopric of Mainz 1 Albus 1670  Province of Holland 1 Stuiver 1738. Called a "Bezemstuiver" because the bundle of arrows resembled a broom. 
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I purchased this coin just this past June. It's now my earliest dated coin. 1478 Southern Netherlands-Flanders. Double Briquet, Bruges mint, Mary of Burgundy.

Reacting to the excellent post by @Sap that's now nearly 2 years old ... The 1424 St. Gallen coin that is the earliest in this category is out of range of most collectors: https://www.numisbids.com/sale/282/lot/?lot=47I think that "accessible" (low to mid 3-figure prices) dated coins like we are talking about here started in the late 1450s in Austria: https://www.numisbids.com/sale/3368/lot/?lot=1769My earliest with modern numerals is this 1474 2 stuiver ("dubbele vuurijzer") of Flanders, like the coin Finn70 posted, but one ruler earlier. IN addition to a pair of those old-style 4s, it's got a rotated 7 as well:   I'm pretty sure @spence has something 10 to 15 years earlier from central Europe..
