austrokiwi Pillar of the Community 2087 Posts	Posted 01/06/2014 03:27 am I understand that Federick II of Prussia issued levantine thalers in 1766 and 1767. It would be of great assistance if someone could post a picture of one. Report this Post to the Staff

Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 01/06/2014 03:53 am You mean thalers that say Prussia, but show Maria Theresa? Never heard of such a thing and would be curious to see one as well. Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 01/06/2014 05:43 am No, Prussian taler coins to be used in the Levante trade. Guess that Friedrich thought they could circulate along, or even compete, with the Austrian MTT coins. Here is one ... not mine of course. :) http://www.muenzen-ritter.de/19007-...766-fst.html Some background info, from an old book in German: http://books.google.de/books?hl=de&...iner&f=false (Click on "Seite 21" to see the relevant page.)
