1895 Mo B Mexico Gold 1 peso

 

 

I'm not sure what the B is (minters initial?) but most dates have an M. This one is a B other letters include F, G, R H, FZ and Z

Relatively low mintage of 8,994 , this is for both B and M coins of this date.

1461-75 GERMANY MAYENCE (Mainz) Gold Gulden Adolf II Von Nassau , Fr-1628. AU55 ANACS

about Adolf II

 

"In 1244, Archbishop Siegfried III granted Mainz a city charter, which included the right of the citizens to establish and elect a city council. The city saw a feud between two Archbishops in 1461, namely Diether von Isenburg, who was elected Archbishop by the cathedral chapter and supported by the citizens, and Adolf II von Nassau, who had been named Archbishop for Mainz by the Pope. In 1462, the Archbishop Adolf II raided the city of Mainz, plundering and killing 400 inhabitants. At a tribunal, those who had survived lost all their property, which was then divided between those who promised to follow Adolf II. Those who would not promise to follow Adolf II (amongst them Johannes Gutenberg) were driven out of the town or thrown into prison. The new Archbishop revoked the city charter of Mainz and put the city under his direct rule. Ironically, after the death of Adolf II his successor was again Diether von Isenburg, now legally elected by the chapter and named by the Pope."

Seems like a bit of a merciless guy.

This is the first time I buy raw from a European dealer, coin unseen in hand. I like the original look/patina and the even toning. Coin is still in transit yet thought I would share.

Zohar, your 1902 Neumunster (R-1785a) is a beauty, and quite rare (RR) even with the scuff, if that is indeed a scuff at all.

 

It would fit nicely into my Beautiful Women Schutzenfest set...:whistle:

 

The same design was struck in solid gold as the R-1784 and has a RRR rating. Now that would be a find.

 

My only new acquisition is a $6000 roof on my house. :frown:
