Seriously, back when I collected coins, I considered doing a "powdered wig" type set with as many European monarchs as possible. The milled coinage era, roughly 17th and 18th centuries, is one of my favorite coinage eras. Some of the most beautiful European coinage is from that era.

That's a beaut.

I don't see no lion, tho'? Just the Madonna and child?

I once had a Bavarian thaler with that reverse design but it was much later (1770s), and much lower grade, too.

Oh. OK. Yeah.

Now that I have my loupe up against the computer monitor, there they are, clear as day.
