khunchang Valued Member Andorra 54 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 08:58 am I can almost make out a date - 1763/5 or 1783/5? Can anyone help with identifying the country and denomination? Edited by khunchang 05/17/2023 08:58 am Report this Post to the Staff

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 10:35 am It looks somewhat like this Brabant 1/2 patagon, but the heavy corrosion on the cross side isn't helping the ID, and there's no eagle. How much does it weigh? https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces61007.html This looks like your coin.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 11:06 am To me it looks more like a gilt Austrian Netherlands Kronenthaler, such as is linked below: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces17710.html @khun, please always include diameter and weight measurements on coins that you need help identified (including this one).

khunchang Valued Member Andorra 54 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 11:26 am @Spence- thank you! That's absolutely it. Apologies for the lack of info ... it's 39mm dia., I will weigh it later when I have my scale out. Will remember to do that next time beforehand. Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 11:52 am No problem, although the coin I posted is about 29 mm in diameter. Are you sure yours is 39 mm? If so, then it may be a made for tourism replica or something similar. Also that Kronenthaler has edge lettering. What is on the edge of this piece?

khunchang Valued Member Andorra 54 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 12:02 pm I checked again - definitely 39mm in diameter, and 29g weight. There appears to have been edge lettering, but it's much too worn or corroded to make out. Report this Post to the Staff
khunchang Valued Member Andorra 54 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 12:06 pm @Spence: the Numista page says 41mm dia., 29.44g weight. So I think it is the right coin. Edited by khunchang 05/17/2023 12:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7935 Posts	Posted 05/18/2023 09:06 am Yes, it's a kronenthaler, Brussels mint. (I've posted my 1765 recently over here: http://goccf.com/t/428286&whichpage=274 ) Very strange damage pattern. Edited by tdziemia 05/18/2023 09:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
