I've got a 3 Pfennige from the German City State of Brandenburg for 1563:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Here's a thaler from Saxony, 1563. The date is quite worn, but still visible.   |

Wow, a full thaler? I don't think I've seen a thaler with this much wear before, but maybe I wasn't looking in the right places.
I wonder what was up with that - was it environmental damage, some kind of pocket piece setup, or did it legitimately circulate that much?

Here's a 1562. There aren't too many dated English coins.earlier than this and even fewer milled coins. Elizabeth I Sixpence, 1562 |

That is a stunning Sixpence! Here is my Kortling from the German Abbey of Corvey that has a two digit date:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Thank you. Elizabeth I again, 1561. A threehalfpence, designed to give change of halfpence when there weren't any halfpennies.  |

@january1may: That is an interesting question re: my 1563 worn Saxon thaler. I picked it up at a shop in Berlin about 25 years ago, the worn state being the reason I could afford it! I can only speculate about the wear, though it does look like circulation to me, not environmental. Maybe a lot of worn thalers were melted down while collectors saved the ones in better shape?

I've got a Drier (which I believe is equal to 3 Pence) here for today. It was minted in Brandenburg and, as you can see, features the date on both sides of the coin:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
