xeonni Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I found this coin and am wondering if it's a legit coin the only thing i have found so far (2 days of searching) that is exactly like mine but is made of gold not brass/bronze (not sure which mine is) so am wondering if anyone has ever seen this coin before and if so did they make it in bronze/brass or just gold... The coin i found was at this auction site http://images.goldbe...ale=41&lot=3984 description is as follows "Bohemia. Goldgulden, ND. Charles I of Bohemia, 1346-1378, Karl IV, Holy Roman Emperor. Full facing crowned bust holding sword and orb. Leg: +KAROLVS.D - EI.GRA.CIE. Reverse: Bohemian lion. Leg: ROMA -NORVM.ET.BOEMIE.REX. Bohemia at this time was an independent kingdom. The reverse Bohemian lion indicates that. So even though the Emperor is pictured, he was Karl I of Bohemia and Karl IV of the Empire. This is a very scarce and popular type, almost never seen this choice. The picture i have attached is of the one i found .... it weighs about 49g or more didn't get to weigh it on a proper scale but it is heavy and about 1/2 cm thick and 3.5cm across" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Style is quite different. I'm guessing it's a modern made paperweight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
