Are the coins magnetic?
Look at the side of the coins. Do you see a line that runs along the coin? As if two parts are put together?
I looked for weights and dimensions, but could not find anything
coin #1
German states
Georg III, Ludwig IV and Christian
Thaler 1657
Dei.Gratia.GEORGIVS.LUDOVICVS.CHRISTIANVS.FRATres
by the grace of god, brothers Georges, Louis, Christian
DUCES.SILLESI.LIGNICENSIS.BREGENSIS.ET.WOLAVIensis.1657
Dukes of Sillesia, Liegnitz, Brieg an Wolhau
Real? Doubtfull because Sillesi is written with 2 L's on your coin. The coin of 1656 does to.
The picture of the 3 brothers does not fit the real coin of 1657 but fits the coin of 1656.
The overall details are to crude.
