The Wig Gallery (17th/18th century style)

Sylvestius

Here's a chance to show off all those 17th/18th century coins of yours, or more modern coins depicting people from that period.

If you have a coin with a bloke in a wig then get a pic posted!

Mine are in the signature;

1) George Washington (USA - 18th)
2) Louis XVI (France - 18th)
3) Francis I (Austria - 18th)
4) Charles II (Great Britain - 17th)

One of my old favourites, i still regret having sold this (not the best out there) but it's James II!

The main problem i find with these coins is that they often come with hairlines on the obverse, caused by coins rubbing across one another whilst in circulation. Your example seems to have escaped it!
