Thomcollects Valued Member United States 240 Posts	Posted 07/25/2009 11:42 pm I cannot find this in any Krause. I've looked in 17th century and up. I think it is from Dortmund due to the legend, CAR . VI . D G ROM . IMPE. It is about 25mm. Identified - Moved to World Coin forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16816 Posts	Posted 07/31/2009 09:56 am I believe I've finally found it: as a result of the War of the Spanish Succession, Emperor Charles VI was (1707-1734) also king of Naples; this coin is for use there. You won't find it in the 1700's Krause yet; coins for this country only go back as far as the old Craig catalogues, to 1750. At least, it's not in my 2002 edition. With the CoinArchives site now useless to us, I've had to search further afield for confirmation. I found this one on an Italian coin site just by googling the exact obverse phrasing. The same design was used on all denominations, but I believe a 25mm diameter coin would be a tari, like that one. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Thomcollects Valued Member United States 240 Posts	Posted 07/31/2009 7:14 pm Thanks SAP! I should have googled the legend, but I figured it would give me too many hits since it was a title. Also, my newest 18th century book is the 2002, 3rd edition. I bought this coin just to ID it. Thank you for ending my frustration! Report this Post to the Staff
