1660 thaler, Bizanz. The city of Bisanz (modern day Besançon, France) was a free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire for many centuries. Situated near the French, German and Swiss border, Bisanz was a strategic location and was controlled at various times by the HRE, Spain and France. In 1660 it was controlled by the Spanish Empire. It was granted the right to mint coins in 1526 while Charles V of Spain was the Emperor. Curiously, all coins of Bisanz feature the legend for Charles V up to the end of minting in 1673. So this thaler shows the crowned and armored Charles V, bearing an orb and scepter on the obverse. The reverse shows the haloed, two-headed eagle of the Holy Roman Emperor with an inescutcheon showing the coat of arms of Bisanz.

Darn, and I lost my 1658 again. Okay, I'll definitely make a photo if I find it. Should fit right in at the lowball thread  and maybe in the Fifth Edition as well (I doubt I'll be able to catch the exact date it would come up in the Fourth Edition).

Nice coin. A bit of a large mintmark, I might add.
