Why is this called "SAXONY 'THREE BROTHERS' THALER"? There are 4 names on it: It is a coin from Christian, with the three brothers (I think): Christian II with the brothers Johan, George and August Here is all you need: https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/be...Default.aspxOr perhaps this: This site does not allow " *** Staff Edit: Correct ***". Please copy this in google: /item/1600-Thaler-Christian-II-Johann-Georg-and-Augustus-Three-Brothers-Thaler-COPY-COIN/32328939809.html And this says it all (dixit Jgenn): https://goccf.com/t/161525&whichpage=232

Nice work @giljan and welcome to CCF! I hope you've got some more 16th Century coins to post as we count backwards through the years.

Here is a 4 Cavalli from the Italian city states of Naples and Sicily. It was minted in 1591, although only the "91" is really visible on the rev. The attribution is Ek 344.
