Here is a 2 Mariengroschen from the German State of Brunswick-Lunenburg-Calenburg-Hanover dated 1702 AD:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

By far and away the smallest coin in my collection. 1700 Russia (Peter I) Wire Kopek. Date type II (/CH on obv) AR, 0.3 grams. If you could fit the entire legend onto one coin, it would helpfully tell you that Peter Alexeyevich is the Tsar and Grand Prince of all Russia. Unfortunately, the legend is much larger than the coin!

Some really great coins being posted today--on the eve of us dropping back into the 17th Century. Here is my contribution: a 1/24 Thaler from the German Free City of Hildesheim dated 1701 AD.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

That's a scarce little bugger, Spence, and decent shape. Nice!

The 17th century. This is where it gets fun.  I have impressed with how well the fourth edition has moved so far.  |
