Guess the coins....

Ken Bressett's Milestone Coins: A Pageant of the World's Most Significant and Popular Money will debut at the ANA World's Fair of Money in Milwaukee (August 8).

The book's front cover features nine coins (actually eight coins and one token) --- two from the United States and seven others, ranging from ancient to [relatively] modern.

Without "cheating" (looking on amazon.com or the Whitman Publishing web site):

what do you think the seven non-U.S. coins/tokens are?

Also, what pieces would you choose for the cover?

I am assuming that the coins are from throughout history in my gueses.

Maria Theresa Thaler?

I also would guess that would include an English Sovereign but no idea of the monarch, as well as an Alexander Tetradrachm.

Another choice would be an Athens Owl Tet.

My guesses (that haven't already been guessed yet):

- My avatar: a didrachm of Rhodes
- Roman denarius - probably a "tribute penny" of Tiberius
- Chinese cash coin (the Sung dynasty ones look nicest)
- English hammered penny
- Bohemian pragergroschen
- Spanish/Spanish Colonial "piece of eight"
- Dutch leeuwendaalder
