My father in law found a coin in an old building dated 1808, the writing has the name (i think it is a name) of Max Joseph Konig Von Baiern. Does anyone know, who this is or what kind of coin it is?? my e-mail is ErickH@cyberut.net
Thanks

The coin is from the kingdom of Bavaria during the reign of King Joseph Maximilian I (1806-25). It sounds like you may have a 1 Kreuzer coin. If so, it would be about 15 millimeters in diameter and would weigh less than 1 gram. Collector value of a coin depends on date, mint mark (if any), number minted and condition of a coin, including amount of wear, any dents, scratches or cleaning. This one may be worth $1 with heavy wear to around $3 with moderate wear to about $5+ with light wear. You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.

Did you get any information about the coin you have? I've got the same problem, the other one is that the coin is in a bad shape.

I now have this coin or one identical coin. I believe it is as stated previously from King Joseph Maximilian Konig Von Baiern 1808 of Bavaria. My coin has on the reverse a 6 on the left side with LAND it has a Kreuzer shield and I can just see ?UN? to right. It is a bit green but I will treasure it.

I have a big silver coin that sais Maximilian Ioseph von Baiern dated 1808. The diameter is about 5 cm. I also have two 3 mark silver coins dated 1870 and 1914, 2 two mark silver coins dated 1899 and 1914 and 2 one mark coins dated 1914 and 1915. Any idea where could I sell these 7 silver prusian coins? They are in good and very good condition. I am from Romania, you can write me at 1octav@gmail.com
