a well-intentioned tip :
As you may know, most banks steal from their clients. They charge insanely high fees for very simple digital transactions. I think clients should not accept this. PayPal also charges unreasonably high costs, usually around 5% of the purchase amount for intercontinental transactions, regardless of the amount. For larger amounts, this also results in insanely high costs. That is why I would advise you to pay with WISE (https://wise.com). This is simple and cheap. It will save you money, which is better spent on coins.
We also offer many more coins in our regular richly illustrated pricelists. You can receive it by filling out the order form.
We hope you will enjoy viewing our website and we hope you will find something of your interest.

NOORDELIJKE NEDERLANDEN (NETHERLANDS) - REPUBLIEK, 1581-1795 - STAD UTRECHT - Zilveren afslag van duit 1784
gewicht 3,06gr. ; zilver Ø 22mm.
muntmeester Johan Sebastiaan van Naamen
met kabelrand
In de 18e eeuw was het algemeen gebruik dat men van reguliere munten exemplaren liet slaan in een afwijkend metaal. Zo kennen we van de koperen duiten ook afslagen in zilver en goud. Deze kon men bij de muntmeester bestellen. Deze bijzonder afslagen dienden niet voor het betalingsverkeer, maar gebruikte men als geschenk aan relaties tijdens bijzondere gelegenheden, bv. jubilea of aan het begin van het nieuwe. De oplages bleven vaak klein, soms enkele honderden stuks maar vaak ook veel minder, zeker als het om gouden afslagen ging. Zeldzaam.
In the 18th century it was common practice to have regular coins minted in a different metal. For example, we also know of the copper duits off-metal strikes in silver and gold. These could be ordered from the mintmaster. These special emissions were not used for payment transactions, but were used as gifts to relations on special occasions, such as anniversaries or at the beginning of the new year. The productions often remained small, sometimes several hundred pieces, but often much less, especially when it came to strikes in gold. Rare.

NOORDELIJKE NEDERLANDEN (NETHERLANDS) - REPUBLIEK, 1581-1795 - WEST-FRIESLAND - Gehelmde rijksdaalder of prinsendaalder 1598, Hoorn
gewicht 28,73gr. ; zilver Ø 41mm.
muntmeester Caspar Wijntgens
muntteken roos
Coin with the portrait of William the Silent (1533-1584) ; William I, Prince of Orange (24 April 1533 – 10 July 1584), also widely known as William the Silent or William the Taciturn or more commonly known as William of Orange, was the main leader of the Dutch revolt against the Spanish Habsburgs that set off the Eighty Years′ War and resulted in the formal independence of the United Provinces in 1581. He was born in the House of Nassau as Count of Nassau-Dillenburg. He became Prince of Orange in 1544 and is thereby the founder of the branch House of Orange-Nassau and the ancestor of the monarchy of the Netherlands. A wealthy nobleman, William originally served the Habsburgs as a member of the court of Margaret of Parma, governor of the Spanish Netherlands. Unhappy with the centralisation of political power away from the local estates and with the Spanish persecution of Dutch Protestants, William joined the Dutch uprising and turned against his former masters. The most influential and politically capable of the rebels, he led the Dutch to several successes in the fight against the Spanish. Declared an outlaw by the Spanish king in 1580, he was assassinated by Balthasar Gérard (also written as ″Gerardts″) in Delft in 1584.
Kleine zwaktes van de slag, doch vrijwel ongecirculeerd prachtexemplaar met
de originele muntkleur. Zeer zeldzaam in deze uitzonderlijk hoge kwaliteit.
Small weaknesses of the strike, but virtually uncirculated example with the original
coin colour. Near mintstate. Very rare in this exceptionally high quality.

TITUS as Caesar, 69-79 - LYKAONIA, IKONIUM (CLAUDICONIUM) - AE 18 or hemiassarion
weight 4,09gr. ; bronze Ø 18mm.
obv. Cuirassed and laurated bust right, surrounded by the legend;
AYTOKPATωP TITOC KAICAP
rev. Helmeted bust of Perseus right, wearing Phrygian cap, harpa behind,
surrounded by the legend; KΛAYΔЄIKONЄωN
Ikonium was regarded in the time of Xenophon (Anab. i. 2. § 19) as the easternmost town of Phrygia, while all later authorities describe it as the principal city of Lykaonia. (Cic. ad Fam. iii. 6, 8, xv. 3.) Strabo (xii. p. 568) calls it a polichnion, whence we must infer that it was then still a small place; but he adds that it was well peopled, and was situated in a fertile district of Lykaonia. Pliny (v. 27), however, and the Acts of the Apostles, describe it as a very populous city, inhabited by Greeks and Jews. Hence it would appear that, within a short period, the place had greatly risen in importance. In Plinius′ time the territory of Ikonium formed a tetrarchy comprising 14 towns, of which Ikonium was the capital. In the apostolic period, Ikonium was one of the chief cities in the southern part of the Roman province Galatia, and it probably belonged to the "Phrygian region" mentioned in Acts 16:6. The emperor Claudius conferred on it the title Claudikonium, which appears on coins of the city and on inscriptions, and was formerly taken as a proof that Claudius raised the city to the rank of a Roman colonia. It was Hadrianus who raised the city to colonial rank; this is proved by its new title, Colonia Aelia Hadriana Ikoniensium, and by a recently discovered inscription, which belongs to the reign of Hadrianus, and which mentions the first duumvir who was appointed in the new colonia. Ikonium was still a Hellenic city, but with a strong pro-Roman bias (as proved by its title "Claudian") when Paul visited it. Under the Byzantine emperors it was the metropolis of Lykaonia, and is frequently mentioned (Hierocl. p. 675); but it was wrested from them first by the Saracens, and afterwards by the Turks, who made it the capital of an empire, the sovereigns of which took the title of Sultans of Ikonium. Under the Turkish dominion, and during the period of the Crusades, Ikonium acquired its greatest celebrity. It is still a large and populous town, and the residence of a pasha. The place contains some architectural remains and inscriptions, but they appear almost all to belong to the Byzantine period.

ITALY - AQUILEIA - ANTONIO II PANCIERA DI PORTOGRUARO, 1402-1411 - Denaro n.d.
weight 0,59gr. ; silver Ø 18mm.
obv. Patriarchal coat-of-arms within dotted circle.
In outer circle the legend; + ANTONIVS❃PATRIARCA
rev. Eagle facing, head left, with wings displayed, within dotted circle.
In outer circle the legend; AQV❃ ILE❃ GEN❃SIS
Antonio Panciera was born in 1350 at Portogruaro. He studied law at the University of Padua, and worked in the papal administration. From 1393 he was bishop of Concordia, and from 1402 to 1411 he was Patriarch of Aquileia. In 1403 he was able to obtain the palatine title of the castle of Zoppola. This caused a crisis with the other Friulian nobles, after which Panciera followed a pro-Venetian policy, leading the people of Cividale del Friuli to ask his removal to Pope Gregory XII. On 31 June 1408 he was therefore replaced as patriarch by Antonio di Ponte, but, with the support of some cardinals who opposed Gregory, he obtained his reinstatement at the Council of Basel.
In 1411 he was elected cardinal by John XXIII in order to free the Aquileian throne to Louis of Teck, a nobleman whose German allegiances were useful for the antipope. Pancieri remained in Friuli, but in 1412 he was forced to flee. In 1414 he took part in the Council of Constance, being among the accusators of Gregory XII. In 1417 he participated in the election of Pope Martin V, who made him administrator of Satriano and then of Frascati (1420). Later Panciera became abbot of Concordia, but never moved there. He died in 1431 and was buried in the Vatican grottoes under St. Peter′s Basilica.
