German States Coinage

[panzerman]

Germany struck over 25 percent of total coinage/ thus no one is rich enough to complete it. Please pile on with your German coins

I will start ball rolling with this one from my birthplace.

AV Goldgulden ND (1411)

Jülich Mint

Reinald IV 1402-23 Herzog zu Jülich-Kleves-Berg

I would assume that that 25% figure applies only to non-ancient coins, given how many different types (and total coins) were issued by all the different ancient states over a period of more than 1,000 years.

Here are my only two German gold coins, both Prussian issues from the German Empire post-1870 . I have a few silver coins from Prussia, Saxony, and Saxe-Altenberg that I can post another time.

Friedrich III, 1888:

Wilhelm II, 1912

Yes/ since there were so many coin issueing states. Köln  (my Moms hometown) for instance was an Erzbistum (Archbishopric) thus struck coinage for the Church/ However "City coinage" was also produced under the Holy Roman Emperor. Here is my
