DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/25/2009 1:37 pm The crossed hammers also appear on coins of Norway, but I don't think Joseph II was a ruler. Would Joseph II refer to the Hapsburg/Holy Roman Emperor (1765-90)? I see two numbers on the reverse: 1764 and 1054. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/25/2009 1:50 pm Hmm...that would explain the hammers. Here's a rough translation: Medal on the visit of Hungarian mines by Joseph II with Archduke Leopold 1764. Coined by Anton Franz Widermann. Report this Post to the Staff
