Aleksandr45 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 The help of experts is necessary. Help to define a coin, namely the country, the period? And as its approximate cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netFish Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 The help of experts is necessary.Help to define a coin, namely the country, the period? And as its approximate cost. i do not know where is it coming from, but condition is very poor, price because of that would not be high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I'm not sure if this is a coin, I'm tempted to say it's more of a token or something... here's why: If I was judging just from the guy's attire on the front, I'd say that the coin is either East Asian or Middle Eastern. BUT, I can make out the letters "SAL", and I'm not sure how many coins of that region have English (or Latin) text on them. Those that did have English didn't have a smiling fat guy on the front holding something in his hand That's just my opinion, anyone who knows more about ancient coins feel free to correct me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 On the left side of the first picture there is a partial legend SALVS... If I remember correctly, that's latin for "health". Not much else I have to add, but I suspect central or eastern european origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandr45 Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 SALVS .. from this name, I began the searches also. But not able to find nothing like. As it was said me a coin can be Croatia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Paul Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I don't have the right documentation to check it, but I think this might be a Salzburg coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian2 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 It looks to me to be a religeous "Pilgrim" or "Travelers" good luck pendant. Many of these have been found from the medieval period (which is what this looks to be from) It is usual on these pendants to show the image of a Bishop (Fat guy in the middle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandr45 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Thank you. But on a pendant it not alike. Probably a pendant is done from a coin. Am not I right possibly? However is of interest already. All many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However is of interest already. All many thanks. Hi 'Aleksandr45'. From what I've seen, this looks like a silver Grosetto from the REPUBLIC OF RAGUSA (now Dubrovnik, Croatia). The obverse is supposed to be St. Blasius with Roman legend: BLASIVS/RAGVS.. The reverse shows Christ standing with Roman legend: SALVS (on left), the legend on the right is illegible. Here's and image of a Ragusan coin from my collection. The obverse pattern is basically the same, however, the reverse is slightly different, I'm just giving this to you for reference. Yours might be a later issue. I hope this is of some help. RAGUSA/DUBROVNIK (REPUBLIC)~AR Grosetto 1372-1383 AD ~Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool link 'cristoph' Thanks. I just used the specimen as a reference since it had the same basic pattern (although not exact). These coins seem to be difficult to find in high grade as they usually have very weak striking, show heavy wear or have been pierced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
