maismoedas Valued Member Brazil 119 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 9:18 pm Hello, I found this coin that judging by the monogram should be from Eastern Friesland. I could not find this coin on the Krause World Coins, at least the date. According World Coins KM#166 was minted till 1734 and KM#185 started being minted in 1736. I have tried to find informations online.. without success. Any idea? Report this Post to the Staff

He became ruler June 12, 1734, so it is possible that this type was struck in 1735. acsearch does not show any sales of a 1735 1/12 thaler, and I cannot find one on MA-shops (there are many examples in the 1740s). All the details of your coin (except the date) match well with this 1736: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=10805814 The fonts and the number styles look OK to me. I do not see another possibility for the last digit (i.e., it is not a 6, or a 7, or an 8 or a 9). A weight of about 3 g. is correct. My guess is that KM is missing this date. We would need someone with a good Germany catalog to check. Added: Using Ostfriesland in a search will turn up a lot more than "East Friesland".

maismoedas Valued Member Brazil 119 Posts	Posted 05/24/2023 4:53 pm Thanks for the information. Indeed a comprehensive German catalog would be handy.... but I agree with you and probably it's a missing date on the World Coins. Report this Post to the Staff
