Nice. I just checked out the Wikipedia article on the Rooswijk.

1732 RUSSIA ROUBLE of ANNA I:   I would dearly love to replace this specimen with one that has the whole legend -on- the flan. However large Russian silver coins pre-1800 are just impossible to find and to afford in better grade.

oooh wow, nice 32 shilling. I have a similar 8 shilling (see 1727 second edition), just after the 4 shilling of that year I like it!!

Thanks for the appreciative comments. After this 1730, I am out until 1706, unless my <presently unlocatable> 1714 shows up. 1730 AUSTRIA OLMUTZ THALER of WOLFGANG:  Size= 42mm. These are new images. Link to those shown in the 'second edition': https://goccf.com/t/161525&whichpage=195

Quote: THANK YOU for posting that 10 kr. piece, along with the translation of the *longest* string of undecipherable Latin abbreviations I have ever seen on a coin- ! This one is even worse! Should I try to find the complete legend?

Petrus, it really is worse. I noticed that too. Very typical for large Austrian coins of this era. Might be interesting to learn what all the letter codes mean. Much of the legend is probably religious in nature, judging from all the heavy symbology on that piece. The decision regarding such research is totally up to you.

That would be interesting to know the meaning of the legend. Quote: unless my <presently unlocatable> 1714 shows up. I hope you find it!

Is it really necessary to squeeze that much onto one coin?
