bobh Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hard to make a selection from several "crowns" in my collection. Some are rare, some are not rare but just plain gorgeous. I'll pick this 1765-EM Novodel for now (Brekke 265): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Well, you are a copper kind of guy. Plus I could not compete with your coin in the copper category Do not be so modest. Your avatar is the same ball park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grivna1726 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Well, you are a copper kind of guy. Plus I could not compete with your coin in the copper category And who can compete with your 1707 grivennik in the silver category? GIM, maybe?

gxseries Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 There's nothing more than I can other than and Thanks for sharing everyone. The only thing that might be impressive from the Imperial era in my collection would be this: Double struck and still under investigation over what variety, rarity as well as what the original planchet was. And then this overstruck Swedish ore that started me looking for interesting overstrikes And finally, this odd looking "token" or whatever you wish to call Definitely not too impressive compared to you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJB Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Here are three more pieces from my collection. 1.) Moldavia & Wallachia 2 Para/3 Kopek 1773- Although it had been mounted, this is an extremely difficult coin to find in top grade. 2.) Russia (Novgorod Republic) AR Denga 1447-1478 AD- Difficult to find with a well-centered strike and strong detailing. 3.) Armavir 5 Ruble 1918- Extremely rare in any condition. Although this is not top grade, it one of the most difficult coins to aquire. http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view_enlarge.aspx?id=966456 Moldavia & Wallachia 2 Para/3 Kopek 1773 http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view_enlarge.aspx?id=959154 Russia (Novgorod Republic) AR Denga 1447-1478 AD http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view_enlarge.aspx?id=950398 Armavir 5 Ruble 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russia (Novgorod Republic) AR Denga 1447-1478 AD thank you for showing a beatiful coin from 15 century Novgorod - the earlier pieces bear not too many designs but this one is so significant as to the history of russian numismatics as it shows the mintmaster himself working with assitnant if one asked what these two folks doing and what globe holding - it is shame to ask such embarassing question from one who try to be here a respondent in most questions without knowing of material; if one asks what is old thing on you silver coin, which is a question for an unexperience novice - how could you be that person who respond to the most posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Very interesting. What are the 2 people doing? It looks like they are holding a globe or something. The common thought is that it depicts a prince and a person giving him homage. I have a couple of these. Here's mine, off center and little worn but uncut.

alexbq2 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Translation: Two figures, facing each other. The left one is sitting on the throne, holding in the right hand a sword, that rest on the shoulder. Left hand is elevated. Head is crowned. Left figure is "standing" on bent knees, right hand is elevated. Subsequent sentences describe other elements of the coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 common Alexbq2, you very dissapointed me, I understand that grivna does not know the subject and agree to thanks anyone even wrong but holding his/her position, however you are the one a normal guy, -cannt you see that a coin questioned by DJB which is a <<<Russia (Novgorod Republic) AR Denga 1447-1478 AD- >>> is not a coin you posted with different legend, common, take a look again, do not let me think you lost some of your identified skills Hello Mr Kuna, Yes, the coin description that I posted is from a later period, when Novgorod was under the control of the prince of Moscow, and the legend on the reverse had been changed to reflect this. However, the coin obverse of that period, remained the same as it was n the coinage of the independent Novgorod. You can see that on the images of the 2 coins presented in this thread. The description of the coin is from a book by V.V. Zaizev, and it deals with the coinage of the later period then our coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigistenz Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Hi, here is the crown of my collection, it is oversize ( Ø 47 millimeters, weight 76.6 grams). I am not sure if it is an old novodel or a very nice business strike, almost too nice for a business strike? What do you think? Thanks as always, Sigi By sigistenz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have information that Chernetsov in his catalog (Oxfod University) was discussing on the various interpretations of what these figures are representing. Besides that I like Chernetsov catalog better than others, however I like Doctor Spassky position on these figure representation - Doctor Spassky in his book Russian monetary history represented only one and one version that these figures are of coinmakers and I stay with him in all respect to Zaitsev book !
