Benefactor kirispupis Posted October 13, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted October 13, 2022 Stunning coins as usual @panzerman! Hmmm...This is a challenging topic. My closest is this one. He's walking along naked with a spear and a staff. That looks pretty wild to me. I'd expect he'd be arrested anywhere other than Times Square. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antwerpen2306 Posted October 14, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 14, 2022 I have only a few German Wildman coins, but this type is also used for medals. It is a tin test (52 mm, 19.8 gr, 1828) of a medal made by De Hondt, an Belgian artist for the 'KONINKLIJKE SCHOOL VOOR NUTTIGE EN BEELDENDE KUNSTEN TE S'HERTOGENBOSCH' . The Royal School for useful and plastics arts in 's Hertogenbosch. This town is now in the Netherlands, from 1815 to 1830 Belgium and the Netherlands formed one country. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helvius Pertinax Posted October 18, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 18, 2022 It may not be a coin, but I think this fits into the context well: Print from 1551, you can think of it as an early version of a minimum wage guideline by profession. I have a similar print from 1545, the citys coat of arms is being held by a Wildmann and... the female version, whatever that is called 😅 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted October 20, 2022 · Patron Share Posted October 20, 2022 Well, I have a "few" Wildman coins. No gold like Panzerman but maybe someday. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor robinjojo Posted October 27, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted October 27, 2022 This is the first wildman thaler, purchased in 1980 in the shop of Hal Balckburn, Carmel, California. I remember that it was a wet cloudy day, and while I was waiting for a box of world coins from the back, I saw this coin in one of the display cabinets. I had to buy that coin the minute I saw it. Forty plus years later it is still here - amazing how time flies! Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, Frederick Ulrich ‘Wildman’ thaler, 1617. KM-52.1; Dav-6303 28.81 grams The Obverse Latin legend reads “Frederick Ulrich, Deī Grātiā, Dux Brūnsvīcēnsis et Lūnebērgēnsis”, with an English translation of “Frederick Ulrich, by the Grace of God, Duke of Brunswick and Luneburg”. The Reverse Latin legend reads “deō et patriae, anno mīlle sescentī septendecim”, with an English translation of “God and Country, year one thousand six hundred and seventeen”. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
