This one comes straight out of my "Unusual denominations"-collection. 1/9 Thaler from Salzburg.

Litotes, I do like that 1627 Salzburg 1/9 coin of Saint Rupert. What size is it? I'll be showing a larger version soon.

Meanwhile, here is a 1626 Leopold thaler from the prolific Austrian Tyrol mint. size = 42mm.

mysilveryears, the 1/9 is 23 mms. I measured the weight to 3,19 grams so it has the same fineness as the bigger coins such as your lovely one from Tyrol.

It's nice to see folks are strong in this time period but it is not supposed to be a race, guys.. at least a day or so between years to give some others a chance to squeeze a coin in edgewise would be nice. I have a string from 1625 through 1620 & I dunno whether to catch up or not. I wonder what else got missed. Here it's at 1617 already; we have just speed-posted through most of a decade in one day. Tell me y'all can do that from now through the whole of the 16th century and I'll just sit back and watch.
