Pero68 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Please help me to identify this coin.No letters,and I don't know what to search. I think it is Hungarian coin before 1500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Not sure, but I do like it. A few more dragon coins. OK, technically these are basilisks, and technically some are medals... I love the third one. What's more dangerous than a dragon? A dragon with a loaded rifle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drusus Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 how about posting the other side of the coin please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 A dragon with a loaded rifle! That reminds me of a movie that came out a few years ago, The Golden Compass, based on "His Dark Materials". The movie features what may be the coolest movie animal: An armored polar bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Not sure, but I do like it.A few more dragon coins. OK, technically these are basilisks, and technically some are medals... Very nice hiho. I would like a pet dragon so I could fly where I want and still be eco-friendly, plus if anybody annoyed me.......toast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHM22 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Great stuff, Hiho. I really like that Basel schützenmedaille. Hans Frei designed some very interesting pieces. Seems they'll give any creature a rifle in Switzerland! Bears, Cockatrice(s?), what's next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Beautiful coin. I don't have catalogs for that area and it doesn't show up in the catalogs I do have. I'm interesting in what you learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Great stuff, Hiho. I really like that Basel schützenmedaille. Hans Frei designed some very interesting pieces. Seems they'll give any creature a rifle in Switzerland! Bears, Cockatrice(s?), what's next? Along with Holy Freres and Huguenin I believe Hans Frei designed some of the most beautiful Swiss medals ever minted. Being the ugly American that I am though, every time I see the name I think "Hands Free" as if it's an advertisment for a cell phone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 This coin is a mystery to me as well, but I love the pattern. The abstract dragon pattern is very unique. I hope you find the information your looking for, and you'll share your results if you do. Thanks. ~Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drusus Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 It might be a fantasy coin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 It might be a fantasy coin? The fact that no one here can identify it implies it's either a fantasy coin or EXTREMELY rare. I hope it's rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Found it. A denier of Bohemia. Struck in Prague, Bretislaw I, 1037-1055, The figure is a bird. Not rare, but a $300 - $500 coin. (thanks to the latest Jean Elsen sales list for the id) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Its a neat coin and I really like the image. As soon as I saw the Elsen coin I knew it was a bird, much clearer die. Even though its not really a dragon, I still like this coin a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be appreciated. This is a 1911 Swiss silver Schutzenfest medal from Basel, Richter catalog # 133B. I found it on eBay in 2008 and paid about $100 from a Swiss dealer. His eBay name is sportdisco2 and I can recommend him. Another place to look would be here... http://www.shootingmedals.com/Inventory.php Rod had one for sale but it appears as though he sold it. You won't find a more honest dealer here in the US, drop him a line and perhaps he can locate one for you. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
