in quoting jgenn,
haha and someone kindly filled in for me 5 minutes after your reply. doesn't matter anyway, I just had a look at it and it was in fact a 1761, but I see I'm too late yet again.. I believe I've got some beautiful ones to show, but that should be a few weeks later unfortunately. long time since I posted any of mine up

A few exceptional 1759 coins posted yesterday by Petrus and Jgenn, let's get started with 1758. Austrian Netherlands, Emperor Francis I (the husband of Maria Theresia) 1758 half Kronenthaler. First issue minted in Brussels (the few earlier issues were minted in Antwerp). The combined mintage number of this Francis I version (less common) and the Maria Theresia issue is reported 456,062.  Fairly hard to get in a decent grade.

And I'll also kick off 1757 with a rather worn George II sixpence:

Austrian Netherlands, 1755 Kronenthaler minted in Antwerp. The mintmark, an upheld hand, is at the top on the reverse. We've come at the cradle of this currency. 1755 was the first mintage year.

1754 Spanish Colonial 8 Reales, Mexico City. Two transitions that affected the design occurred during this year yielding four varieties. The first was with the team of assayers, Manuel de Leon and Francisco de la Pena y Flores changing to Manuel de Leon and Manuel Assorin (assayers' initials MF and MM). The second was the modification of the design on the reverse to replace the royal crown on the left pillar with the imperial crown. This coin is one of the rarer combinations, the original team of assayers with the new design of imperial and royal crowns.

I urgently need to catch up with photos of some worn mid 18th century coppers, less the year passes by, as it did with the Cologne 1764 quarter stuber.
