Lucky to pick this beauty up today. Venice was one of the few countries in the 1200’s making high purity silver coins of this quality, most of the rest of Europe were still making crude, paper thin billon coins.

I have these 3 coins of Huizong. I think the left coin (H#16.400) and bottom (5 Cash, H#16.406) are real, but the right coin (H#16.407/408) just looks completely fake to me. Can anyone confirm before I throw it in the fakes pile? Thanks guys!

I think an 8 Reales is on the bucket list next, what are some other must have crownsized coins?

Despite being called the Austrian Netherlands, this country occupied the territory we call Belgium today, not the Netherlands. The country was formed in 1714 when it was transferred from Spanish to Austrian rule at the end of the Spanish war of Succession, after Spain had to cede the territory to Austria. It existed until 1794 when the territory was lost to France, and it took until 1830 for Belgium to become an independent country.

This coin was minted under the rule of Maria Theresia, who you may know from the popular and common Maria Theresia Thaler restrikes, that have been minted continuously for over 250 years. This coin, though, was actually minted during her lifespan. This Thaler is relatively common as far as 18th century crowns go, and this type ran from 1755 till 1780, when Maria Theresia passed away.

737 thousand of these were minted in 1769, making it a slightly less common date. The eagle design and cross on this coin look beautiful and I’m happy to add it to the crown collection!
