DJB Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Nice ones 'ScottO'. Here's one that I got in the mail yesterday. This is a silver 5-Line Dinar from the SERBIAN EMPIRE dating from 1346-1355 AD under the reign of Tsar: Stefan Uros IV~Dusan. This is a rare early imperial issue that was an imitation of Byzantine style coinage. The Cyrillic legend reads: 'STEFAN IN CHRIST OUR LORD PIOUS TSAR'.

DaBoz Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 1350-1364 France Lamb Of God ION REX, rare variation. The coinage of Philip IV of France (1268-1314, also known as "Philippe le Bel") marks the first mass diffusion of gold coinage in the Kingdom of France (before him, only his grandfather Saint Louis had minted a few gold coins, the "Ecu"). Philip however had to resort extensively to monetary devaluations and reevaluations in order to finance his royal budget as well as his war efforts. Philip IV has been nicknamed "Le Faux Monnayeur" ("The Counterfeiter"), and had to face numerous popular unrests due to his tampering of coin titles and values. 1422-1453 British occupied France Salut d'Or Gold Salut d'Or Gold PCGS MS64 (27 mm) A remarkable Choice Uncirculated specimen. Deeply impressed on both sides with full Strike, and rich luster. No HIGHER Graded at PCGS or NGC. The only other specimen graded at PCGS is graded MS63. Labeled France (Fr.301), this 15th century gold piece is considered Anglo Gallic coinage. Minted in Rouen, capital of Normandy in northern France while under the rule of Britain's King Henry VI. (Joan of Arc was burned at the stake here.) The obverse is a depiction of the annunciation of Christ, showing the Madonna receiving a parchment from the archangel Gabriel, over arms of France and England. Reverse depicts a Latin cross with fleur-de-lis and leopard. An exquisite and superb piece of history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arminius Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Well, Chinese coins are cast, exotic but also a matter of taste. I prefere the hammered ones, even if they are incomplete, small and dirty as this one: Kingdom of Sicily (Regno Sicilia), Manfredi, Messina mint, 1258-1266 AD., Æ Denaro (14-16 mm / 0,71 g), Obv.: .+. SICLIЄ , cross pattée with a pellet at end of each serif. - croce patente con due globetti ad ogni estremità. Rev.: .+. AyNFR’RЄX (NF ligatured) / M , legend in a circle around gothic M - nel campo M gotica. Travaini 72 var. (rev. legend) ; Spahr 204 var. (same) ; MEC 14, 611 ; cf. Biaggi 1111 . Manfred (1232, Venosa – 26 February 1266) was the King of Sicily from 1258 to 1266. He was a natural son of the emperor Frederick II of Hohenstaufen, Bianca Lancia (or Lanzia) his mother. Charles the Count of Anjou defeats Manfred at the battle of Benevento on February 26, 1266 End of Hohenstaufen dynasty. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse me ... This is my personal opinion ... but your Slavonski Hungarian denarius - a modern fake (((. In order not to tempt the counterfeiters, will not disclose the number of nuances that give a fake. But I can say confidently that the style of performance animal, portraits and letters of legend are not authentic ... Unfortunately ((( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHOMA Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I want to share a picture of a coin, considered the most beautiful coins of the Middle Ages! Perfect embodiment of Gothic aesthetics, expression and style. Prague grosh, one of the most popular coins in the Central and Eastern Europe in 14-15 centuries. This coin was minted in Kutna Hora in the years 1300-1305, during the reign of King Wenceslaus II of Bohemia and Poland. The design of the coin operated Italian minsmeystery, who invited along with the Apennine bankers by the King-reformer. I would also like to note the excellent composition, harmony and proportionality of the font and other details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
