8 berichten
1600's Latvia billon coin is what I have been told,.. honestly, I don't have a clue

it is a little smaller than a US dime and paper thin



sorry for the poor quality photos, I will try to take better pics later
was also told that it could be a 1 shilling coin.... if so, I'm thinking maybe Livonia
Gustav II Adolf van Zweden (1594-1632)
Wasa dynasty
Solidus
City Riga, Swedish occupation
King of Poland, Lithuania and Sweden (1611-1632)
SOLIDUS.CIVI.RIGENSIS
SOLIDUS CIVITATIS RIGENSIS
shilling of the city Riga
GUST.ADOL.D.G.REX.S
GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS DEI GRATIA REX SVECLAE
Gustav Adolf, by gods grace, king of Sweden

thanks petrus, that really helped!... I was able to find it here https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces31474.html

I have 6 of those coins, they differ slightly, so it was stumping me...

I am only interested in keeping two, if anyone wants to swap for the rest, pm me



if these are in fact different coins, let me know,.. but I am still interested in swapping them as these are outside of my collection interests... again, sorry for the crummy pictures I'm down to using my phone to photograph
Try to find out if you can set your camera function of your Phone in macro setting.
Samsung has this possibility.
Important for nice pictures is enough light (outside)
Or a scanner.
There are many varieties, but I do not know them all.
Please ask Piotr, perhaps he can help/swap/buy:

Ask him for the value of these coins, if you want to sell.

thanks, I sent him a pm inviting him to this post.

I have no real interest in selling, I would rather swap.. it would be real nice to get some pre-1870 Prussian states coins of equal value
Could you make photos of each coin separately ? And with better resolution, in daylight maybe.
I will borrow a camera and do that, but it won't be until later today before I'll be able to post them.
