Anyone have a 1700s Krause? I need some IDs on coins!

MadMarty

One of my dealers hands me a bunch of coins and says but these on E-Bay. Problem is I don't have a Krause from the 1700s, so a little help would be appreciated. I can figure out the ones from the 1800s, but the counterstamped one I'm not sure of.

Hey, Marty, want to play the "who can name the most things wrong with that 8 Reales" game ? Could you post the weight and edge of it? It's most definitely a counterfeit, but it's an interesting one - appears to be struck with quality dies. Perhaps with roots to Birmingham...

Bottom one is a Brazil 40 reis, Bahia mint.

The 5th one down is a Peru Royalist counter-stamp on 1822 8 Reales (Peru Libre type).

Third one down is an Austrian Netherlands Kronen Thaler.

First coin is Charles I (1625-49) Scottish 12 Shillings. You should be able to get a little more

Weight 1 Oz exactly, the edge is a circle/square pattern

Which leaves number 2, a French ecu. Mintmark L (Bayonne mint), weight should be 29.488 grams, KM# 551.9, CV (2002 edition) $125 in VF.
