Someone tried to pass it off as a dollar. She replaced it with a real one and kept the coin. Any help indentifying it would be appreciated!

In 1640, the prince-archbishop was Paris von Lodron, the gentleman named and depicted on the coin in the bottom pic. The fellow on the top pic is Saint Rupert, first bishop of Salzburg, founder and patron saint of the city. Assuming it's genuine, this coin was worth a lot more than a dollar, even in the 1940s. 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
