Ofec List

Thanks Jays Dad

You seem to have included rather a lot. I myself have 307 different "places" by my own count, but I suppose I would score somewhat higher on yours since you have four entries for my native Norway and I have only one. It never occurred to me to list as separate the periods together with Sweden and Denmark, but I can see the case for doing so. The case for including "Norway under Germany", however, I do not see. This was not an internationally accepted occurrence, and the mint in Kongsberg stood for coin production, same as usual.

EDIT - since we are talking about Norway I should also add that the period together with Denmark started in 1387. Any coins before 1387, and there exist some, if not many, must be considered as independent Norway - same category as 1905 to present.

Thanks yourself Jays-Dad, I really appreciate your list, lots of interesting information there for me to take advantage of.

I cross-checked part of your list with my own much shorter one and came up with an interesting observation - you have not included the French States from the 16th century given in Krause bar one. You have Aire, but not (French) Alsace, Boisbelle & Henrichemont, Bouillon & Sedan, Burgundy, Chateau-Renaud, Dombes, Nevers & Rethel, Orange and Verdun. Are these purposefully left out?

I see. In that case I can update it for you. I'll use your list as a starting point and include anything I find missing. It seems a worthwile project, especially as I have never taken the time to investigate this magnificent book as closely as it deserves. I too seldom come over interesting 16th century coins.
If you have a little patience with me I will present an upgraded list shortly.

Jats-Dad - I managed to add 260 places. I also introduced a new column called "added" so show my contribution, in case you feel like checking information you will know who put it there.

Now I only need to find out how you upload files. It was not as easy as I had imagined. I think I will just email it to you
