Some of my family came from Wurttemberg [now known as Baden-Wurttemberg], so I am interested when I see a coin from that area. There is a coin on ebay right now titled "Rare, Germany, Wurttemberg-Ols, kreuzer, 1680, Ols mint" [ ebay item number:201011970250] I asked the seller ["historicalresearch Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyJames Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 01/21/2014 12:57 am Oels was a duchy that fell under the control of Wuerttemburg at that time. It was fairly short-lived and Oels eventually fell under some other name/alignment. A quick Google search suggests that Oels is in present day Poland, which isn't really that close to Wuerttemburg. I'm not sure how that worked out. Report this Post to the Staff
Spott Valued Member United States 263 Posts	Posted 01/21/2014 01:07 am I don't know why I can only see the first half of my post, but here is the second half: I asked the seller ["historicalresearch"] if Baden-Wurttemberg is the same as Wurttemberg-Ols, and he said yes. I have found no information online about "Ols". I think the first picture has a section [upper left] could have the wave-shapes I've seen on other Wurttemberg coins, but I don't recognize the rest of it. It this from the area I am looking for? Is the price within the range that you would expect? What do you think? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Spott Valued Member United States 263 Posts	Posted 01/21/2014 01:10 am Thanks, JimmyJames. "Oels" is giving me more information than the other spelling "Ols". I'll see what I can find out about Oels... Report this Post to the Staff
