PNWType Pillar of the Community United States 561 Posts	Posted 02/11/2022 05:05 am As I recently went through the exciting process of figuring out which coin/date/mint my 1814 960 reis was struck over, it solidified my love for overstruck coins. You get the history of two coins in one! I collect mainly pre-1899 crown-size coins, and am looking to establish a list of known overstruck coins, something to look for at shows/online. Here's what I know so far: Louis XIV Ecus - (over prior ecu types) Louis XV Ecus - (over prior ecu types) John VI 960 Reis T. 1 - (over a lot of different coins) John VI 960 Reis T. 2 - (mainly over colonial 8 reales) Pedro I 960 Reis - (mainly over colonial 8 reales) 5 Shillings B.o.England Token - (over 8 reales) 6 Shillings B.o.Ireland Token - (over 8 reales) I'd love to expand this list if anyone has more examples they know of Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7945 Posts	Posted 02/11/2022 1:48 pm I think we've run into some 8 reales colonial era coins that are overstruck. (edit: oops! I see you've got those on the list) - Testons of the Duchy of Lorraine, 1700 - 1720 (usually struck over earlier types of same size). https://www.ma-shops.com/poinsignon...php?id=67880 - Grand DUchy of Warsaw small silver denominations struck over Prussia coins Edited by tdziemia 02/11/2022 10:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 02/12/2022 08:20 am Ah my favorite! The most unique would be the 1804 US dollar overstruck over Swiss thaler. Believe this is class III from memory Couple of my links of what I have http://gxseries.com/numis/overstrik...erstrike.htm http://gxseries.com/numis/rus_imper...erstruck.htm Believe the Russian ones would be most interesting. I should have a nicer 1743 ruble overstruck over 1741 ruble somewhere...
