* NCLT
(?) uncertain if denomination actually spelled out on the coin.

New addition (can't be bothered to post the link): Portuguese 1100, 2200, 4400 reis from the 1670s.

1100 was already on the list, but only as NCLT. 2200 and 4400 are new additions. (There are likely other numbers not on the list from Portugal and Brazil's extensive coining histories - especially in gold - but they probably won't be as silly.)

Found it completely accidentally - I was researching the 19th century 870 reis (denomination not written, as it turned out), which I also found completely accidentally (looking for a completely unrelated coin).

Entirely unrelatedly: apparently one variety of the 1.44 coin says "1 mace 4 3/5 candareens". Would that count as 1.46, or 1 23/50, or 14 3/5, or what?

Still am it's just became harder to find new denominations that didn't come up previously.

Within the 1-100 range, IMHO the top five of the "can't see why it wouldn't exist" category are 2 1/4, 11, 27, 64, and 84. (This is both in ascending numeric order and in ascending order of plausibility.) My searches for those had been fruitless so far (I did find one 27, but it doesn't seem to actually list the denomination).


I was thinking of the non-countermarked Portuguese issues, but whatever. That works too

Incidentally, while most of the coins returned by the Numista search for 84 are assorted types of 80, I did find a 82.5 of all things (the Numista listing doesn't have an image, but the NGC listing does).

Correction: apparently, the second Bocholt coin isn't a 15-1/2 heller as NGC tells us, but actually a 15-3/4. It is listed as such by Kuenker among others. A dash was used for denoting half in the denomination and apparently, a dash with a circle symbolized three quarters. And here, the Germans provide an explanation for these strange denominations:
21 heller=1 stüber=1/60 reichstaler, so 10-1/2 and 15-3/4 were equal to 1/2 and 3/4 stüber.

In other news, the German forums also provides a link to another example of a 10-1/2: Geneva 10-1/2 sols. They also had a 21 sols.

and an interesting triple-denominated coin:

Anhalt-Zerbst, 16 pfennig=4 grote=5 kreuzer, dated 1764
https://www.ma-shops.de/graefe/item...id=160916001

Oh, I wasn't aware of the 1/5 of a 1/32 - we already have the 1/5 of a 1/16 but not this one. Good catch!

Here's a Heritage image of the 125,000 gulden from Suriname:
https://www.sixbid.com/browse.html?...6&lot=752146
I couldn't find an image of the 75,000 one, though. We'll have to put an (?) beside this entry, although it being modern makes it almost certain that the denomination is spelled out on it - but alas we have no proof as of yet.

Good, I'll add the 480 and 27-1/2 and update the list.

With so many different denominations from Brazil, it's no wonder that one got omitted.

There were many multiple thalers and ducats in the German-speaking area but it seems almost none of them had their denomination spelled out. I guess they either distinguished them by weight - or they saw little circulation. Probably both.

I'm most surprised at the lack of 64 anywhere so far.

And checking random new listings finally paid off:
Ostfriesland 2/15 thaler
For consistency's sake we'll have to list it as 1/7.5, however weird that looks.
