Interesting...the little "sun" above Carl IX's head has Hebrew text that says "Jahweh".

Quote: What a fun thread. It really is. Quick question, without googling it, does anybody know how 1608 is important for the country and province I live in.

I've been working on getting a 1608 that would fit nicely into my collection, but without success so far. I was brutally sniped last weekend on a very nice 1608 French double tournois.  Also this week I inquired about a 1608 Swedish 1 Mark piece for sale on Tradera but the seller doesn't take paypal. (I just don't have the time or patience to leave work early and go to a special bank branch before they close at 4 and goof around with tellers trying to figure out how to do an international bank transfer. I will very gladly pay the seller's 4% paypal fees to avoid this hassle!)I will keep looking, and post my new 1608 here when I finally get one, unless someone beats me to it! Stay tuned! Don't touch that dial! This is just a short lull in the action.

Funny 1608 should be so difficult. I have a nice 1607 lying in wait.... My father actually has a 1608 in his own collection, but he is not registered here (or anywhere else) and never will be.

Can't you simply borrow it and move us forward?
