Also @tdziemia Numismatist ( ANA magazine) just did a nice article on the history of coinage from Thorun/Torun/Thorn, worth a read if you have time.

Thanks for the tip! I am not a member, but maybe now is the time to join.
In my Poland collection I have a number of minor coins struck there, including the earliest dated coin (a 1528 schilling if I recall correctly). Getting a larger silver type was on my want list for a while, but I kept getting outbid and gave up.

For 1760 a little higher face value (and a lot more silver), a trojak / 3 groszy struck in Gdansk:

That scudo is lovely, @tdziemia!

My collection is sparse around these years. I have one for 1754, after that there is a gap until 1727.

Thank you. Saint Martin of Tours would be an intersting peson even if only 1/3 of his legend is acurate . And this particular image I find inspiring.

Also for me the mid-1700s will soon become a bit bleak, with mostly minor copper types until the 1720s and Lorraine coins tied to the French silver coins of that era.

I have a second coin for this date, a 1/4 thaler of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, minted in Leipzig:

As I mentioned upthread, this guy is NOT very photogenic.
