Ngdawa- I totally agree that your Swedish coin is very interesting. Can you tell what kind of coin has been overstruck? IT does not appear to be a Swedish coin.

Just as DVCollector, the host coin is the very same 1 Daler S.M. coin. You can still see the canons and the frame on obverse. The coin was an emergency coin from 1718. The new coin is a 1 Ã-re KM and looks like this when original: http://www.tonysmynt.se/jpg/ulrikae...9_1orekm.jpg |

1720One of my favourite German States coins, just because of the simplicity of it's no-nonsense design: a copper 1 schwaren from Bremen.

Sap, I like that one too--it's very minimalist. Is this thread done? I have more coins to post; waiting for 1702.... |
