Vfox Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Uh, I believe that image is allegorical and refers to her execution (the rock has the date of her execution on it). In that case a falcon biting the head off of a dove is quite fitting don't you think? Got to love those witty artists lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elverno Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 1812 8 Maravedis, Spain (?) 30mm Link First does anyone know if the "J" to the left of the bust is a mintmark? If so, which mint? My wife apparently decided my beat-up old Krause sitting next to my desk was there to be thrown away... Kind of a shame there's no good way to clean something like this. Even in bad shape it's a tough coin. The guy on eBay didn't say so but I'd guess a coin detector find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elverno Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 1815 1 Pfenning, Bavaria 18mm Link My 2 1/2 year old grandson took this coin walk-about earlier today after it arrived. He's added bringing me all the coins he can find to his list of jobs. Unfortunately all coins apparently need to travel around the house before being brought to Poppie. I'm going to have to watch my desk more closely, at least I was able to find this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
