I just got this German 1913 2 Mark Pattern, and this 1786 Bavarian Taler.

Nice specimens as usual 'regandon'.  You have quite a beautiful collection of German State and Regional coins. Here is my newest aquisition, a billon Denier from the Despotate of Epirus (1294-1313) AD. This was a territory in the southern Balkans. I will also be posting this in the Medieval Balkan thread with a bit more detail.

Zantetsuken,...very nice, you have me thinking of looking into the time period you collect. I only have the one coin from Cnut reign.

Regandon, I love that 2 Mark, great color and that bird is just tough-looking!

Zantetsuken, you're collection of hammered coins falls right in my area(medieval) of interest.  Cool stuff!  I am focusing on England with mine right now, but Spain and France could be next.

Thanks 'regandon' and 'Filthybroke'. Hammered coins definitely are interesting. Here are a couple examples from two different points in history. The first is a silver Denar from the Duchy of Bohemia (1061-1086 AD). The edging for this is very well cropped when considering the crude minting methods for the times. The second is 500 Ruble coin from the Khwarezm Soviet Peoples Republic (1340 AH/1922 AD). This is a modern example of a hammered coin from Central Asia, which is small, but with a thick flan. Most of these coins have adjustment marks on edges which account for the more symmetrical shape of the coins.

Here are three new specimens that I aquired today. The first is a Copper Bani from WALLACHIA 1429-1435 AD ? The second is 5 Kopek from the RUSSIAN EMPIRE 1767. And the third is 6 Krajczar from HUNGARY 1849 during the 'War of Independence'.

Very, very nice!

Here's my latest addition. This is 50 Reichspfennig (Nickel Variety) from GERMANY (THIRD REICH) 1938 B, which was minted in Vienna Austria. Nickel varities are among the rarer coins for the Third Reich. This coin also marks the start of what would be a dark and turbulent time for Europe, as Adolf Hitler invaded his homeland of Austria on March 12, 1938 and with the combined intervention of both the German and Austrian Nazi Parties, they took control of the government in Vienna. The following day, on March 13th, the 'Anschluss' or 'Union' was declared, then two days later, Hitler declared Austria officially united with Germany. Austria wouldn't regain independence until late 1945, and full autonomy until 1955.
