Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 09/21/2012 04:22 am It's a replica/reproduction showing the the obverses of two different coins: Austrian guldiners or double-guldiners. The reverses of the two coins both have an elaborate multiple-coat-of-arms design. Here's a "rider" type in the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection; here's one similar to the other type sold at a German auction earlier this year. It was presumably sold as a cheap souvenir in Austria, perhaps around the time of the 500th anniversary of the coronation of Maximilian in 1959. 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
