Hi

My 1701-1800 edition gives it as just KM 139. There is no regnal year on these, just a rosette at the top of the reverse. The 'initial letter' in front of the accession date looks like XXXVI 'mr' to me.

Best wishes

Thank you.
It seems it's pretty rare.
I payed 0.25 euro for it :)

Hi

The condition is not very good, so even if it is scarce it isn't going to be very valuable, perhaps 6-8 euros at best: still a bargain at 0.25 euro though :)

Best wishes
