paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 11/30/2018 9:21 pm A fairly common type that enjoyed a long run of production. KM 997 is correct. 1792 MC. The obverse is CAROLVS GVIL FERD D. G. B. ET L. = Charles William (Karl Wilhelm) Ferdinand, by the Grace of God, Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg The reverse is MVIII E. F. MARK CONV M. = 1008 Eine Feine Mark Conventionsmetal (1,008 coins to equal 1 silver Mark) The standard used at that time for Brunswick was 1 Thaler = 1/14 Mark, so 4 Pfenning was equal to 1/72 Thaler or 1/1008 Mark (i.e. 72*14) Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

fplagge Pillar of the Community United States 660 Posts	Posted 11/30/2018 9:49 pm Thanks, men, but one question for paralyse: Did you forget to include the DVX between the "G" and "B" on the obverse as shown in my photo or, does your information not include those letters?

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 12/01/2018 6:27 pm It is my error, the legend is correctly D. G. DUX B. ET L. as the coin says. Typing was apparently not my strong suit last night.
