Beautiful coin!

 

Thank you

 

Ready for 1631, the year that I graduated from high school?

I'll help fill in the gaps as we move along, but I too are missing many years. Eventually we will hit years where there is no dated coinage. How should we approach this situation?

Netherlands, United Provinces, Gelderland, lion daalder, 1631. Rare date.

Here's an interesting contemporary imitation, loosely based on an Utrecht lion daalder, dated 1631. Its origins could be either Ottoman or Indonesian (Java). I'm still not sure what the shield in front of the knight is referring to.

This is one of the years I am missing. The last time we ran out of dated coins we just started over

 

@robinjojo It shouldn't be any trouble getting to
1500 AD. We are fortunate to have @panzerman collection choose from. His is one of largest collections of gold coins on this or any other forum. From there going backwards I can take this thread back to 1465 AD.

 

Well here a 1631

Pommern
AV Dukat 1631
Koslin Mint
Bogeslaus XIV 1620-37

 

Some coins can also be dated based on regnal year (Byzantine) or counsel year (Roman). Some Greek coins also have dates, such as Seleucid Era, which can be equated to the Gregorian Calendar as a range, such as 175/4 BC. Roman provincial coins, especially from Alexandria, Egypt, have regnal year, when visible, which is not always the case. This is all rather spotty though going that far back.

 

The Kings of the Cimmerian Bosphorus are dated in BEI have 7 of them, this one depicts Bosphuran King Rhoemetacles & Roman Emperor Hadrian, dated (AΛV)BE 431=134/5AD

 

And....Islamic coins will come in handy for me! I have over 400+ dated in AH

 

For 1630 I have 2 more German States Thalers
