Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2893 Posts	Posted 03/20/2009 10:03 am Hi, I've been attributing this coin and think it is KM 11, Denmark - Gluckstadt - 16th Thaler. Unfortunately Krause doesn't have a picture of this one (mine doesn't anyway). There are supposed to be three possible dates 1623-1625 but I can't see where the date should be -- It's probably off the flan - but I don't know where is SHOULD be. Can anyone point me to the right position. It's probably under the Globe that liberty is standing on. many thanks Image: Gluckstadt16ththaler.jpg 58.97 KB My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 03/20/2009 2:12 pm That certainly does look like a "23" between the 9 and 11 o'clock positions on the obverse. I just wonder what that "16" within the ovoid shape beneath the large "C" indicates. Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2893 Posts	Posted 03/20/2009 2:19 pm You could well be right with the date -- I will search around the Internet and see what I can find, thanks for those pointers. The 16 is meant to show it is a 1/16 of a Thaler My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Report this Post to the Staff
Litotes Pillar of the Community Norway 510 Posts	Posted 03/20/2009 3:34 pm Dl20K is right, at least almost. The legend reads not 23 but Z3. The Z was used as a 2 on several older Danish coins. I have this coin mynself, only from (16)Z4 - in other words 1624. The first two digits they felt they could manage without. Locally this was actually known as "3 Skilling lybsk". It was 48 Skilling to a Thaler back then. Report this Post to the Staff
