Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 04/14/2016 8:14 pm Among a lot of European coins that I bought today as copper/bronze "culls" was this, which I've tentatively identified it as an issue of Frederick the Great. It's especially significant for an American as it appears to be dated 1776. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

It was ruled by the King of Prussia in that time and therefore was a province of Prussia. That's what fascinates me about Prussian coins. You do not only have a huge amount of different types that were minted for the whole kingdom but also provincial issues, minted for Brandenburg, Silesia, Posen, Danzig and several other regions/cities. For identification of later Prussian coins and prussian provincial issues you can check out http://oldgermancoins.com/prussian-coins/ Best regards from Berlin Potsdam Report this Post to the Staff
