dooly Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi there I have just been out detecting and found 3 hammered coins in my local area in Northumberland and i am having trouble identifying the mint on this Scottish hammered It is a Alexander III S 5044 type IV with molded bust and tall fleured crown with large jewels .. But on the reverse i am having difficulties as i have never seen one with ON / ON .. my guess is it says JH / ON . but i cannot find any Johns listed only Ion and Iohan .. so any help so i can catalogue it correctly will be very welcome all the best dooly .

thedeadpoint Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 The dark tarnish on the coin looks different from any I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
