OK....maybe not the true dracula but the period style collars certainly bring him to mind. I hadn't made any purchases for quite awhile so I decided to go for this one offered by NEN. It is an early date 1580 taler from the german state of Saxe-Old-Weimar. It features the rulers Friedrich Wilhelm I and Johann III. It was produced in the Saalfeld mint, located in the district of Thuringia. This area of Germany is the ancestral seat of the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha branch of the Saxon House of Wettin
1580 Saxe-Old-Weimar DAV-9768
Old Mint in Saalfeld - closed in 1846.

I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Actually, I shouldn't joke about that. I used to advertise as "The Count of Coins" back when Spectrum was advertising as "The King of Cash". My motto was "Not your everyday bloodsucker".
