What is your oldest silver coin?

My oldest silver coin is a Napoleon 1 Franc from 1810. Definitely super old for California! What is your oldest silver coin?

Tough one as I have a French billon coin that almost surely originated as a 1590s Douzain as about 95% of them were. But other than that 1652 is my oldest dated silver

Mindcrime, where did you dig that? In the states or did you take a trip overseas?

I was stationed in Germany for a little over 3 years and dug it up there.
