Comments

18 Groschen lub 18 Gröscher = 1 Orte = 1 Tympf = 1/5 Talara

Ten typ charakteryzuje się rokiem zapisanym cyframi arabskimi. Monety z rokiem (1675 i 1676) zapisanym cyframi rzymskimi należą do typu Neum.# 11.117a / v.Schr.# 1632-1634.

Ten egzemplarz ma bardzo dużą liczbę wariantów popiersia, rewersu, legendy i interpunkcji.

Mennice 1683HS, 1684HS, 1685HS i 1687HS istnieją z lub bez wewnętrznego okręgu otaczającego orła. Wszystkie poprzednie monety mają okrąg, a kolejne nie mają okręgu.

Wariant z 1679 roku z inną pozycją korony i innym ogonem orła

Liczba wariantów legendy awersu i rewersu oraz interpunkcji jest dość znaczna. Więcej szczegółów można znaleźć w katalogu F.F.v.Schrötter (s. 161-169).

Wariant 1688 AB prawdopodobnie nie istnieje, jest prawdopodobnie fałszywy, patrz notatka Neumanna (s. 367) i von Schröttera (s. 169). SCWC lub NGC nie są w żadnym wypadku punktem odniesienia dla tej części.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

18 Groschen or 18 Gröscher = 1 Orte = 1 Tympf = 1/5 Thaler

This type is characterized by the year in Arabic numerals. Coins with year (1675 and 1676) in Roman numerals belong to type Neum.# 11.117a / v.Schr.# 1632-1634.

This piece has a very large number of variants of the bust, the reverse, the legend and the punctuation.

Mintages of 1683HS, 1684HS, 1685HS and 1687HS exist with or without an inner circle surrounding the eagle. The previous mintages all have a circle, the following mintages have no circle.

Variant of 1679 with a different crown position and a different eagle tail

The number of variants of the obverse and reverse legend and punctuation is quite considerable. Consult the catalog of F.F.v.Schrötter (pp. 161-169) for further details.

Variant 1688 AB probably does not exist, it is probably a fake, see note Neumann (p. 367) and von Schrötter (p. 169). The SCWC or NGC are by no means a reference for this part.
