How Far Back Can We Go? Seventh Edition! Ended At 1380 Waiting On 1379

For sure not.

Austria 1765, 1 thaler, Maria Theresia, Vienna mint.

Lovely thaler!
Long couple of travel days for me (Wyoming to Ohio via Minneapolis).

Here is a 1765 crown of Austrian Netherlands, Brussels mint, also struck in the name of Maria Teresa (still seller's photos):

great 1765 silver pieces from Austria and the Austrian Netherlands (Southern United Provinces - currently known as Belgium)

here something from the Northern United Provinces (currently known as The Netherlands):

1764 Utrecht half ducaton (halve zilveren rijder)



as we will go back in time, we'll see that the seventeen Southern and Northern provinces were once united

Beautiful coin @1c5d



Yes, it's visible in your photo.

For me a 1764 solidus/schilling of the Duchy of Courland. Courland was a sort of semi-independent state under rule of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from the 1570s until the final partition in 1795. So we see the Polish eagle and the Lithuania rider featured on the reverse.
Even though the date is not legible except for a bit of the last digit, it is a one year type: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces86474.html

1763 British threepence:

Lovely coins, paralyse!

1762 United Kingdom threepence:

double chins as sign of the message " it's good to be the king"
the uneven toning on the obverse is interesting, perhaps this coin was gilt and has been used in a pendant ? it was common practice in those days

here an example of a pendant bearing the date 1761: a gold piece of 14 guilders from Zeeland better known as the "gold rider" (gouden rijder)
most "gouden rijders" from this period became collectibles, a memory of the nice coinage of the 18th century

indeed, the "gouden rijder" (like the taler-sized silver rider) has a great design; thus, a great number of pieces of current survivors were used shortly after minting as pendants
pieces that are now sold in auctions often have the comment 'klemsporen' which means traces of former mounting

this one has the carrier eye still attached



of interest is the 14 guilder face value, the weight in gold is ±10 grammes
the 1 guilder of those days was a piece of silver ±10 grammes
this brings the gold/silver ratio of the 18th century Netherlands to 14, which is in the normal range

It's always nice to see coins that I seldom or never get to see here in the USA. Even the German States coins that I collect are becoming more and more difficult to find without paying through the nose.

I cannot contribute anything beautiful for 1761, but I can offer something original, at least, if not in the greatest of shape.

Russia - 1761 5 Kopeck - (Ekaterinburg most likely) - Elizabeth





I have seen some of the novodel 2 kop. and 5 kop. coins and they are interesting because they show that if the technology (and effort) had existed at the time these coins would have actually looked quite decent when new, almost medallic. But when it comes to original coins, even XF-AU examples often have a lot of strike and planchet related issues that make them look much more worn than their actual circulation would account for.
