Silver Cosel-Ducat, 22mm Diameter, Issued 1694-1733 Reign of Friedrich "The Strong" August I, Saxony, Germany



The obverse translates to "If You Are Not Faithful To Me" and the reverse "Be Free".



Pictorial wise obverse cupid squatting over heart and reverse a rooster on hen as in a very polite screw you.



I saw my first rooster on hen reverse type design nearly a decade ago. I've have researched and followed them since however just couldn't figure out how one would fit my collection? So for 2016 I decided to just have fun and forget the self implied set rules. As I've never seen this full size cupid design before and liked this far better then any others figured I'd better acquire this as a I might regret not doing so. Especially since over the years these have jumped 5 fold in price.

    Broadstruck, that looks like a great addition to your most unusual collection (perhaps a box of 20?).

    I like that.

    I used to enjoy watching the chickens do what chickens do.

    Especially this time of year.

    I figure if I'm hit by a bus my personality will shine through my collection and will make Pistareen scratch his head on some items instead of all the common Redbook listed Pogue stuff he's been writing description on imageimage

    image That's a new one in my book. Right up there with the potty dollars except that the token above was the original design intent.

    I guess whoever engraved that (or commissioned it) was coming off a very unsatisfactory relationship. I like how Cupid is using his bow for balance.
