Cool how the patination brings out a sort of bug-eyed look. Here he is on a 1626 1/4 thaler struck in Gdansk:   |

Yes buy-eyed, but do you think that someone added the pupil after this coin left the mint? Interesting that the date wraps from one side of your coin to the other @tdz. I'm not sure that I've noticed that before on a coin. Brandenburg-Prussia 1/24 Thaler:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

very nice adds folks! @ tdz - I like how they split the date to both sides on the coin. (16 on obv, 26 on rev) |

(16)26 Brandenburg-Prussia 1/24 Thaler.  Not a great picture, but it's the same as Spence's coin, except with the date as "Z6" Edited by bd251

I've never thought about that. I think the Gdansk orts had a lot of variety on how the date was dislpayed (I have a couple more coming up over the next 10 years, so let's see). Also, could be a good gallery topic "Post Your Coins with Divided Dates."  Also Poland for me today, 1624 1/4 thaler:   Edited by tdziemia

Poland 3 Groschen 1624:   Quote:
"Post Your Coins with Divided Dates." If we do this, then we will need to make it clear that we aren't just looking for coins with the date on both sides because then we will get a bunch of Magician's coins I think. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Yes, I was thinking more of things like that Gdansk coin, and also the one you just posted, where the numerals in the date get divided by some other device, often a coat of arms, sometimes other things.
But not "dually dated" coins (date on both sides), where we already have a thread.
