The coin is just too well struck to be from the 16th century. Good looking coin though. Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 06/06/2008 02:55 am I think the original coin was kingdom of Bohemia, shown on the reverse by that particular lion and by "BOEM" in the legend. Bohemia became part of the Austrian empire in 1526, so perhaps this has something to do with Czech independence, since 1967 is near their Prague Spring uprising? Just guesses here, but I'm pretty certain on Bohemia. The obverse has St. Joseph but the other symbols/legends I'm unsure about. Edited by KurtS 06/06/2008 02:58 am Report this Post to the Staff
