pattiewhack Pillar of the Community Canada 1152 Posts	Posted 08/09/2007 3:10 pm 1 Something of Louis XIV, I'm sorry about the darkness- the coin is rather black and I dont want to try and lift it. The coin is quarter sized: 2- I have absolutely no idea about this one at all. It's rather gross-looking but also large and silver: 3- Three pfennig from somewhere, a German state I'm guessing, but which one? 4- Another German States coin: Edited by pattiewhack 08/09/2007 4:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 08/10/2007 02:50 am #1- - Looks like another jeton. #2- - The coat of arms is Brabant, but I can't find a legend to match yours from there. Might be a silver jeton? #3- and #4- have been found. #1.) - Saxony (Kingdom) 1/48 thaler 1810/01, KM 1048, CV for the overdate $12 in Very Fine (slightly higher than regular coins from the same series). #2.) - Baden 5 kreuzer 1768, KM 109, CV $20 in Fine. #3.) - A Saxon house, by the coat of arms. Horizontal stripes with a crown-band running diagonally across it is always a Saxon giveaway. There's no pic in Krause to compare it with, but I'd guess Saxe-Hildburghausen, 1/48th thaler 1788, KM 120 (a one-year type), CV $10 in VF. I'd interpret "HSHSM" as "Herzogthum (duchy) Saxe Hildburghausen Scheide Münze (fractional coin). #4.) - Saxony (Kingdom), ½ neugroschen/5 pfennig 1842, KM 1158, CV $1.50 in Fine. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
t360 Pillar of the Community United States 2703 Posts	Posted 08/10/2007 07:52 am #1 - I looked for this jeton type for a while last night but did not find any examples. On the reverse it looks to me like a group of soldiers on horseback, in front of a building and a tower. It probably commemorates one of Louis XIV's conquests in Europe. Can you make out the inscription at the bottom (in exergue)? Report this Post to the Staff

pattiewhack Pillar of the Community Canada 1152 Posts	Posted 08/10/2007 10:51 am I know! SAP ROCKS! On the bottom of the first coin it says (I think) "L(or J)EWTREE DU LEGATA PARIS" Would the first word be Yewtree? Weird. Report this Post to the Staff
pattiewhack Pillar of the Community Canada 1152 Posts	Posted 08/10/2007 11:09 am OK I'm stuck- I cant find ANYTHING on the inscription... "DV LEGATA PARIS" and "DU LEGATA PARIS" come up with nothing. Neither do "DV LEGALA PARIS" and "DU LEGALA PARIS" I'm not searching the first word because I have no clue who it is. Edited by pattiewhack 08/10/2007 11:13 am Report this Post to the Staff
