Off to a nice start already! Canton of Lucerne/Luzern, 1 schilling 1647 KM-25. The reverse bears an image of St. Leodegar. Leodegar was the politically active bishop of Autun (Burgundy) in the 7th century. When his enemy, prince Ebroin of Neustria succeeded in briefly gaining authority over Burgundy in the mid-670s, he first had Leodegar tortured by having his eyes put out, and a short time later executed by beheading. Leodegar was canonized as a martyr saint within a few of decades of his death. A monastery dedicated to him was founded in central Switzerland around 750, and the area that grew up around it became known as Luciaria. The city of Lucerne was chartered around 1178. Leodegar holds the traditional bishop's crozier (staff) in his left hand, and a crutch/cane as used by the blind in his right.   |

1647 a Brussels jeton summarizing the Belgian weather of today an intense sun and some clouds with a scenery from the coast of the Low Countries title "preparing peace negotiations" ; quite relevant for the politics of the region as the negotiations would lead to the 1648 peace treaty of Münster, signed 30 January 1648; ending 80 years of war (four generations, can one imagine that?) between Spain and the revolting Dutch Republic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace...M%C3%BCnsterhttps://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/rijks...y-of-munster Edited by 1c5d7n5m

@t360, wonderful 1647 rixdaler ! Although I know little history of Sweden, I think it is still fair at this moment to quote Wikipedia that Christina is remembered as one of the most learned women of the 17th century.[9] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris...en_of_Sweden |

@pepactonius nice 1/12 ecu! I thought so too. Between the child bust (Louis was only 9), the circulation cameo look, and the die crack, that coin has SO much character. And, it was all the way back on page 222 of the thread (1714) we saw our first Louis XIV coin! Quite a run, with a few years still to go, I think. Great Austrian coin too. Good year! |
