    I like the old Maria Theresia Taler with the hole. Sorry to have squeezed your Picture in between my series. Wish you a successful continuation of your trip and buys. Kind regards !

    Thanks all!

    Yes, these beads are not easy to find, but this time I was lucky enough to meet a trader who had piles of amazing beads. Here's a photo of the man himself.
