Hi Collect89 => man, it's always nice seeing your sweet wares (great lil' coin)

Ummm, but is there any chance that I/we could get the diameter and weight of that lil' sweetheart? (thanks, my coin-friend)

 

Welcome back Ripley, hope you had safe move....

14th. century, i think i can make the whole run...

Bulgaria..1331 - 1371..AD..
AR..
Obv. Christ Jesus nimbus
Rev. Ivan and Mihail..
Father and Son..
15mm x 1.36 g.

 

The coin is precisely 0.50 grams and 14 mm diameter. I would certainly appreciate your directing me to additional info. I'm assuming it is a real coin.

 

=> sorry dawg, I have nothing else to add => I was merely saying "nice coin" (Oh, and thanks for the info ... your coin is not quite as wee as I originally thought ... I have several coins in the 10mm range ... so this is a big baby, relatively)

 

i only have this coin from the 14th century...a match with ENG.

 

I think we are in the 15th century.......So i will start...Ya that's a dragon...

Another lap over coin...
Italian States ...1395 - 1402..AD..

I new you wouldn't let us down Steve, awesome coin, i don't think i've seen this before...

 

My only coin from the 1400s. Had to get a coin of the nation that finally took down what was left of the Roman Empire, from the city in that it all happened, and as close to that fateful year (1453) as possible:

Ottoman Empire
AR Akce
Constantinople mint, struck 1482 (during the reign of Sultan Bayezid II)
