Archeo1982 Pillar of the Community Netherlands 521 Posts	Posted 10/13/2017 9:47 pm It's not a fake. During the late 16th-early 17th century, these type of coins weren't used anymore in the Dutch Republic. But they were still in use in the mediterranean states like the ones in Italy. In trade, due to the size and the good name of the coin, it was a valued trade currency. Because of this popularity, the coins were reintroduced in Italy, with the Dutch originals as example. Not of pure silver, but with some copper added. Report this Post to the Staff
1c5d7n5m Pillar of the Community Belgium 1185 Posts	Posted 01/04/2018 4:13 pm interesting coin archeo 1982 indeed this is not a fake nor a counterfeit but a "transparent" imitation with mention of the place where the imitation was produced other imitations from the same period originate from Germany (Rietberg and Emden); the imitations are even more valued by coin collectors than the original coins, which were produced in the Netherlands until 1713 so the imitations and the originals circulated in parallel and were very useful for trading in the Levant see H. Enno van Gelder, (2002) De Nederlandse munten, Utrecht, Het Spectrum. Zie p. 91, 136, 247, 255. Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7941 Posts	Posted 03/13/2018 01:19 am Could be an interesting topic on officially "copied" coins. I'm not as widely travelled as others out here, but I know that late medieval English pennies with monarch facing obv, and long cross rev were copied other places in Europe, as was the French gros tournois, the gold florin, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
