Zohar444 Pillar of the Community United States 1429 Posts	Posted 08/17/2016 8:28 pm Very scarce double show taler 1750s. Austria - Habsburg Territories. Cities in the Habsburg lands. Kremnitz Mint. Rare Dicker Double Schautaler (St. Georgstaler), ND (18th Century Issue). Engraved by Heinrich Fuchs. 61.74gr. Obv: St. George riding right, slaying the dragon. Reverse: Wind god blows to right. Christ and two apostles on ship. Huszar (Voglhuber 23, listed as a simple Schautaler). RR Very attractive item. Huszar has this piece as engraved by Heinrich Fuchs who worked at the Kremnitz mint during the mid-18th century. He suspects that under the wing of the dragon on the left is the medalist's signature. NGC AU-55. Report this Post to the Staff
Potsdam Valued Member Germany 303 Posts	Posted 08/18/2016 10:31 am I can only contribute with a badly damaged coin. It is a Prussian 3 Mark 1915 coin with a mintage of 30.000 pieces. Its predecessors were the Prussian "Ausbeutetaler", minted in Silver from mines around the town Mansfeld. These 30.000 pieces were in large parts handed to miners from Mansfeld. They normally cost around 600€ which is why I chose to buy this for way less. Report this Post to the Staff

coinworldtv Pillar of the Community Austria 566 Posts	Posted 08/22/2016 5:44 pm Thank you for the contributions. @Zohar444 - A very nice specimen of the Hungarian series! I will add also following multiple ducat medal to this topic, which is probably engraved by Karl Wilhelm Becker and struck at the Vienna mint. With their hand-cut dies those early 20th century gold pieces mimick the style of Heinrich Fuchs and Christian Hermann Roth (main engraver at the Kremnitz mint until 1690) and mimicki their Hungarian 17th century counterparts: Edited by coinworldtv 08/22/2016 5:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dagaz Valued Member Slovenia 459 Posts	Posted 08/23/2016 01:33 am This is a bit off topic, but I hope you'll see where I'm going. In 1920 Kingdom of Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia issued a 1000 dinar banknote with the image of st. George, or Jurij in Slovenian. This is the beginning of nickname 'Jur' for any 1000 monetary units in general in Slovenia. It was used with Yugoslavian dinar, Slovenian tolar and now euro. Here's a picture, but the banknote is not mine (they are quite expensive). Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 08/23/2016 03:22 am I love the popular "storm" design. I have this large .800 silver piece. Not nearly as old as most of the others posted here (1925-75 Vienna hallmark), but still attractive :) Report this Post to the Staff
