This happened to be one of those "right place at the right time" kind of purchases. The seller had a lot of Scottish coins and I picked up a few. I also have the 1695 and 1696 turners, and a couple of bawbees.
I've always been fascinated with the Scottish coins, probably because I have a little bit of Scottish ancestry.


The only 'scottish" coins I have are two well-worn crossraguel pennies. (google if intrested)
But I do not really see them as scottish money because they are some kind of 'private money'.

Here is the next date:
1692
4 kreuzer (Batzen)
Salzburg mint
Ruler : Bishop Johann Ernst von Thun und Hohenstein (1687-1709).
Literatuur: Probszt 1855

1692 France, Écu aux 8 L of Louis XIV, Bordeaux mint, struck over an earlier type.

I'll have to wait two decades to post my next crown.

A bit banged up, but it's still a 1688. I picked it up a month or so ago as an "unknown Spanish coin". I love finding stuff like this and then trying to figure out what it is.

This Norway 2 Skilling is a special piece in my collection. It's the second year of minting at the Kongsberg mint.

How-Far-Back-Can-We-Go?-Second-Edition!-Ended-At-1492-Waiting-On-1491

While it has the most common obverse style, the lion design on the shield is unique--at least the only die I've found in my research.

The head treatment on the lion is different than all other die pairs I've seen. There's also a repunched 8
