I don't remember all those nice Philipsdaalders the last time through. Worth pointing out that the orientation of the date on that one is continuous with the legend, which makes it "upside-down" from the normal date orientation on most coins with date below the bust. I'll continue the parade of Lithuania half groats started by keith12:   Edited by tdziemia

Here is a Drier issued by the German City State of Brandenberg and dated 1561 AD, once on each side of the coin:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

For 1559 here is a jeton from the Netherlands mentioning the peace negociations between France and Spain - these would result in the peace of Cateau-Cambre#769;sis signed on April 3, 1559. This agreement ended a 65-year long struggle between France and Spain for the control of Italy, with François I of France and Charles V of Spain being the key opponents. The result was that the Habsburg empire would become the sovereign power of large pieces of Italy during the next centuries.

Not a Half Groschen, but rather this Denar from Lithuania for 1559 for me:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Me too, just a bit more worn and tattered:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Last day (first year) to present a Philipsdaalder. This piece is from the County of Flanders; Brugge mint   The Philipsdaalder was the heaviest silver piece (±34 grammes, silver content 0,835) that circulated in Europe and it would last till the death of Philippe II in 1598. The next year (Antwerp 1599) the Archdukes Albert & Isabelle would introduce a new coin: the silver florin (zilveren gulden). Edited by 1c5d7n5m
