    Are they German coins? And their time? Thanks!

    moneyer12 i just love UK coins.......

    i have certainly never seen anything like those in the german states hammered catalogues, methinks that they could be from somwhere else, where i don't know but i am sure they are not from germany.

    What a coincidence, ricks2! That's exactly what I thought!
    I just told my friend the top one may be from Bavaria because of its coat of arms.
    And I am checking the handheller from Schwäbisch-Hall these two days. But I find the reverse is something different.

    Thanks rick2!
