Though some striking weakness is evident, this Mint State example nevertheless remains without time spent in commerce.&quot; The city of Rostock, long a semi-independent member of the Hanseatic League, was subdued by the duke of Mecklenburg in the late sixteenth century. Occupied at various times by the Danes, Swedes and the French, her importance declined until the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century favored her shipyards. No thalers were struck in the eighteenth century and gold issues are very sparse. This type was struck 1796-1802. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, copper began to replace billon in low value denominations in Germany.<br /> <br /> ''Recorded mintage:'' unknown but not expensive.<br /> <br /> ''Specification:'' copper. <br /> <br /> ''Catalog reference:'' KM-132. <br /> <br /> ''[[Bibliography|Source:]]''<br /> * Craig, William D., ''[[Germany|Germanic]] Coinages: Charlemagne through Wilhelm II,'' Mountain View, CA: 1954. <br /> * Michael, Thomas, ''Standard Catalog of World Coins, 1701-1800, 7th ed.,'' Iola, WI: Krause Publications, 2016. <br /> * &lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt;Orsini, Matt, Kyle Ponterio and Jeremy Bostwick, ''May 2024 World Collectors Choice Online Auction,'' Costa Mesa, CA: Stack's Bowers Galleries, Inc., 2024.<br /> <br /> ''Link to:''<br /> * [[Rostock 1796-IG ducat Fr-2597|1796-IG ducat]]<br /> * [[Coins and currency dated 1800]]<br /> <br /> [[Category: Minor coinage of the German states]][[Category:Selections from the Stack's Bowers 2024 Collector's Choice sale]]</div>
