@Petrus, thanks for posting that link. I have been using the information in Numista, which has some of the Wolsky variants, but I suppose is less complete than the catalog. That first solidus with the deer's head mark was minted in Kowno (Kaunas). I think the others are from Vilnius (certainly the one with the star after IOAN is). It is interesting that in earlier years of this reign the Lithuanian solidus is also minted in Poland proper. Since there is a lot of Poland out here, I will post my Duchy of Lorraine 1665 teston, Nancy mint. Reiterating some earlier comments, the moustache and hairstyle of Duke Charles IV are similar to that of Jan Casimir and other monarchs (and bishops, looking at t360's Liege coins) of the time.

Since there is no 1664 coin here so far I guess it is ok to post my Two Skilling from Denmark.

perhaps I can kick of with 1664 for the Spanish Netherlands we are now entering the reign of Philip IV of Spain a powerful ruler over the biggest empire of those days, but a power in decline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_IV_of_SpainPhilip IV ruled during the 30 years war, and for the Spanish Netherlands his adversary was king Louis XIV of France who conquered large pieces of current French Flanders (Arras, Lille, Dunkirke) pushing the borderline between France and Spanish Netherlands to the North. We may see several jetons from this period during the next days. This jeton of 1664 (Dugn. 4204 - "Alliance between Spain and Austria") summarizes the political situation nicely: obverse an aged king at the end of is reign reverse shows the Pillars of Hercules, symbol of the Empire, battered by heavy storms but fastened securely. The one word legend STABVNT (they will stand) is a powerful statement of the political aspiration  edit: corrected 1654 into 1664

Quote: Is 1664 not to soon? I think we still are in 1665... @petrus, yesterday we posted our coins from 1665 and so today (06/13/19) is for 1664. However, @giljan and @1c5 posted their '65s a little after midnight EST which may have been a little confusing. In a little under five hours, I think that we drop back to AD 1663.

Quote: ...yesterday we posted our coins from 1665 and so today (06/13/19) is for 1664 Also my understanding. @Petrus, those myriad 1665 "boratynki" make a good point about this type and all its variations. In 1665-66, there are 4 different mints and many variants, as you have shown: - Ujazdow mint (near Warsaw) has only the eagle reverse - Kowno/Kaunas mint (Lithuania) has GFH below the bust obverse, and reverse the knight on horseback and buck privy mark below - Vilnius (Lithuania) and Brest mints have TLB below the bust obverse, and reverse the knight on horseback and HKPL monogram below.
