svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 12/27/2010 6:21 pm A lot of followers of the Roman Empire had legends in Latin. How about the name that precedes "Dei Gratia Rex", Ludovicus Primus, or Louie the First. That should place it somewhere in France. Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 12/27/2010 6:30 pm Nope, not French either. French L1 lived in 700's-800's. Hungarian L1 lived in 1300's. Here's what I found among old threads. Your coin is the same as item "d". Report this Post to the Staff
emillika New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 12/27/2010 6:37 pm Thanks I saw that thread just a few minutes ago also.. It makes sense as there ia a stamped '1967' at the right foot. Thanks. I don't suppose this has much value? Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 12/27/2010 6:53 pm Oh, the value? I doubt there's silver in it, so a buck or two? Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16883 Posts	Posted 12/27/2010 8:43 pm As Bart said in the older thread, it's a replica of a Bohemian joachimsthaler - that's Saint Joachim, not St John. The joachimsthaler was the ancestor of the thaler, from which the "dollar" ultimately derives it's name. They were the first large, crown-sized silver coins to be struck in Europe in large quantity. Original thalers tended to look more like this example on CoinArchives. The "LUDOVICUS PRIMUS" so named is Louis II of Hungary, who was known as Louis I in Bohemia. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
