Silesia -- 1681 3 pfennig:   Not too much in the way of legends on this coin.

  This is my 1679. Anyone care to accurately i.d. this pretty little (29mm) 1/6 thaler silver coin from the roller die era?

Thanks, Petrus. I suspected it was a Brandenburg-Ansbach piece but my Krause catalogs do not go back before 1700.

Wow. That makes me interested in collecting based on the 1632 series of books (ring of fire).
That is really cool!

Saxe-Lauenburg -- 1678 2/3 thaler.   I suppose the 2/3 denomination has some significance. It seems like the German coins of this era often have factors of 3 in their denominations (1/3, 1/6, 1/9, 1/12, 1/24, 6, 12, 15, 18, etc.)

I saw the thistle and the legend 'Nemo me impunis lacesset[sic]' and recognized as Scottish. I didn't have any Scottish coins, so I got it for $10 and ID'd it when I got home.
