Here is another 2 Kreuzer from the German Countship of Pfalz-Simmern. This one is dated (15)77 and is listed in Saurma (#2071). I really like the little party hat in the obv inscription at 12 o'clock.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Superb Daalders on display this time around. Keep 'em coming! This is a lowly uniface 2 Pfennig from the Austrian State of Salzburg that is dated 1576 AD> It is attributed as Probst 642 and Saurma 926.   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

From 1575, here is yet another 1 schilling piece from the Free City of Riga:  With 1577 being the most common date, I would call 1575 the second most common. 1574, on the other hand, is a much rarer date. The ones I have seen for sale were too expensive for me (with the cheapest being around thirty dollars), so I will have nothing to post tomorrow.  |

1575 early days of the Dutch Republic Lion Daalder Type 1a (knight oriented to the left) Dordrecht mint - province of Holland Delm. 829 R2 to R4 (probably R3) Delmonte correctly states: " first autonomous coin struck by the States during the war of independence against Spain" a coin with historical significance all ± 15 surviving pieces (weak strike, poor primitive design) give the impression of a quick and dirty job done during the turmoil of the last months of 1575 when the mint of Dordrecht was in bad shape the rapid succession of types 1a => 1b => 2 has corrected this weakness of representation   |

Wow! Scarce coin! Here is a more boring French teston of Henry III. I don't intentionally collect royal France, but Henry was also briefly king of Poland (1574-75), after Zygmunt II (Jagiello) died without an heir in 1572 (and I do collect Poland). During this brief period when he reigned concurrently, French coins with his name bear the legend "King of France and Poland."   |

I have another coin from this date! 1575: 1 schilling from the Duchy of Courland.  The pictures make the date very hard to see, but it is near the top of the first picture (below the legend). Edited by Joseph7420
