Wow, wonderful reichstaler, 1c5d7n5m! Another day, another set of coins from me.  I'll start with a French feudal. Orange 1642, double tournois, Frédéric-Henri de Nassau.   |

And another French feudal from me: Principality of Dombes 1642, double tournois, Gaston d'Orléans.  Gaston was brother to French king Louis XIII. His use of three fleurs-de-lys (with a cadet branch label on top) was thus legitimate, in contrast to some other feudal copy cats (like Frédéric-Henri of Orange, whose coat of arms had no likeness to the three fleur-de-lys-like thingies on his coins). |

Yes fortunately Hurricane Lee seems to have had more of a glancing blow on the Northeast US and Eastern Maritimes on Canada.

Last coin from me for a while. France 1642, écu d'or, Louis XIII, Paris (A).  The old gold écus continued to be minted until 1654, from 1640 in parallel with the new louis d'ors. Most (until 1640 all) écu d'ors were hammered, but this one is minted in Paris, where the new mechanized technique was used also for the old type of coins. |

beautiful coins, erafjel and t360 ! I agree! Here is a Mariengroshen from the German State of Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel that is dated 1641 AD.
