Help Interpreting Latin Inscription **NEW PICS**

Silvereagle82

Guys,
I just added this nice German States - Nurnberg 1700 IMF Ducat "Klippe" NGC- MS-62 to my collection and need some help interpreting the legend on the obverse. I assume it is latin .

" SECVLVM.NOVVM.CELEBRAT.RESP.NORIDIEFRGENS"



Excuse the photos (sellers). I'll post better photos hopefully tonite.

I think SECULUM NOVVM is "new generation" or "new age" I don't know about the rest.

I think it is a chronogram with the date....

CELEBRAT, if logic holds, is likely the Latin root that we get celebrate from, so "celebrate a new age" seems right for the first bit. The coin was probably issued around the time a new ruler was crowned.

YIKES! that is beautiful, but i regret to inform you that NGC let one slip through the cracks. it appears that thing is a counterfeit, so i'll kindly ask you to send it to me for proper disposal. j

Seriously though, that thing is beautiful; congrats!!!
