Litotes Pillar of the Community Norway 510 Posts	Posted 07/10/2011 1:50 pm I have had a bit of luck and found a few good ones. I am especially proud of the combination of ½3 and 3½! Funny, why is the pictures so different in size? The ½3 gulden from Friesland should have as large pictures as the 3½ gulden from Bavaria. Well, nobody will call me an expert on photos. The other coins are 1/84 gulden from Teutonic Order, 9 Cavalli from Naples and 5-1/32 gulden from Dutch East India. Edited by Litotes 07/10/2011 1:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 07/10/2011 6:29 pm Just to clarify... Quote: ...and 5-1/32 gulden from Dutch East India. The Batavian East Indies coin is not "5 and 1/32 gulden". The coin is a duit, worth 1/160th of a gulden. The "5" means "1/5", as in the coin is worth 1/5 of 1/32 of a gulden. Why they wrote it in that strange way, and not simply "1/160", I don't know. "Tradition" seems to be the best answer. 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.

augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1062 Posts	Posted 07/10/2011 10:19 pm I like the term Vereinmuenze on the first coin. Verein means team so it is a team coin. I''m sure it has another meaning in context, but maybe they could issue Man Utd coins in the future!! Report this Post to the Staff

Just to clarify further, the coin was not worth 1/160 of a gulden, but 1/192. It was supposed to be 6 on the left hand side instead of 5, but they misprinted. As the coins were minted in the Netherlands and sent to use in East Asia, they put them in circulation anyway as they were short of coins they did not want to wait for improved ones. For a denomination collector a coin with a typo in the denomination is a rare and amusing treat. Usually such typos make them expensive, but here it is impossible to get one without so it is not particularly difficult. Report this Post to the Staff
