"Austrian Netherlands", Quarter Kronenthaler 1789 minted in Kremnitz. This 'smaller brother' (less than 7.5 g) is relatively thin for its size and does not have an edge engraving. The 'Quarter Kronenthaler' was never minted in Brussels nor Antwerp. Though it supposedly was legal tender in the Austrian Netherlands, it did not circulate over there.

Austrian Netherlands, 1 Liard/Oord, 1789. Last year of issue for emperor Joseph II.  Everyday small copper coin, double liards were also minted in copper. Billon was used for 10, 14 and 20 liards. A silver escalin/schelling was worth 24 liards and there were 9 escalins to the Kronenthaler. ... and unless you take a picture in bright light these worn coppers always show a miserable contrast and detail ...

Barbadoes Penny 1788  This penny was struck in 1788 for use in Barbados, the first coin to be used on the island. It is thought to have been privately commissioned by Sir Philip Gibbs, a local plantation owner, and is therefore considered a token rather than legal tender. The obverse has the profile of a black African man or woman with a plumed crown above the words 'I SERVE'. Enslaved Africans had worked the sugar plantations of Barbados since the mid-1600s. The crown and plumes are harder to explain. The plumes are the badge of the Prince of Wales, whose motto is also 'I serve'. This suggests the design was intended to be humorous or satirical. Whether this was a crude joke or intended as an anti-slavery commentary, we will probably never know; a chilling reminder of our past.

Half Kronenthaler 1788, Vienna mint (Mintmark A).   The design is identical to that of the Kronenthaler. They are easy to distinguish because of diameter 32 mm) and weight (14.7 g) from the Kronenthaler. Only few issues had a value indication on the reverse those days. In the Austrian Netherlands, only some of the multiple liards, minted in billon, had their face value indicated in Latin digits: (X, XIV or XX).
