jlueke Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 They are medieval, I'd guess 11th-13th century AD but not sure about the date. They can be hard to pin down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denier Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 i thought so and i looked lot of coins that "guy with a zepter" in the front picture looks like arcbishop (but who what country very hard to tell i know) i tried to read the roman numbers in medieval time it was different system 11th-12th when priest come to my homeland (somewhere in the baltic states) and spread the christianity and 13th century when the crusaders came... looked even crusaders coins but nope nothing As i said i found 3 coins 2nd coin has cross with 4 dots in the back in front looks like a holy guy circle around his head (http://home.eckerd.edu/~oberhot/frob2bg.jpg) looks like this the bishop version the coin is damaged small piece is missing *third coin(on the picture above) is almost flat broken in the middle i accidently did it very slim and fragile the other side of the third coin first from the left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlueke Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 The facing portraits might help narrow it down a little, the reverses really don't; the cross with four pellets was used all over. The middle one reminds me of a Hungarian denar but it's just hard to say when one doesn't look at these a lot. Search for things like medieval, denar, silver penny, facing portrait either google or vcoins and see if you have any luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denier Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Another coin identified the middle one i`m 99% sure Niederlande-Deventer, Münzstätte des Bistums Utrec Pfennig 1027-1054 2 coins left to identify broken and "holy one" first from the right The "holy one" those letter on the back make me grazy when they hammer it i don`t know if the letter got backwards ... when you write on a paper with a ink and try to make a a print to another paper letters get wrong way so... don`t need a mirror to read them those letter are in a round shape CE ON.NI CR* * is a weird symbol like a arrow (or russian letter Г ) pointing how to read it? CRON NICE/CEON NICR etc dot between ON and NI Any ideas how i can read them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denier Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Nice all done i used help from another site they identified it less than a hour I`ll copy their response " Silver denarius in the name of Bernoldus (1027-1054), bishop of Utrecht. Originals struck in villa Gruoninga (city of Groningen), which was given to bishop Bernoldus in 1040, therefore struck in the period 1040-1054. Since the legends on your coin are quite corrupted, this is likely to be a later imitation. Van der Chijs 19-24 (originals are Van der Chijs 16-18). The imitations are correct weight, so they are more like emergency issues than like frauds. Obv: bishop with staff in a circle between two groups of three dots. Around +SCS BONIFACIVS ARCHIEPS - sanctvs Bonifacivs archiepiscopvs (Saint Boniface archbishop). Rev: CRV/ONIN/CE (mint) in a circle, around +V BERNOLDVS EPS. Lettering on this side is pretty jumbled " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 You gotta find a medieval specialist to get those quickly, they all look similar to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
