England

If AH dating is allowed, I have stuff way into 700s AD

 

From the rules
5. Eastern and other coins that don’t use the Gregorian calendar are fair play even if the year doesn’t align perfectly as long as they are datable to ONE year in that calendar. At the bottom of the post just tell us the closest equivalent date in the Gregorian calendar. (Ex.: 1834/5)

 

Thanks/ thats good....I have about 100 AV Islamic/ Indian Sultanates from 700-1500AD My oldest Ad dated coin is 1488 from Brabant/ Demi Noble.....

 

1660, Charles II returns to England to reestablish the monarchy. A 70mm medal in silver by Abeele (Eimer 210, MI I 455/44).

 

1660 -- Saxony-Albertine, 3 pfennig:

 

Sorry, going back for a moment to 1661 and 1662 and wishing to add a bit to the luigini discussed earlier, here are three luigini from different parts of Europe (although only the Orange issue copies the French arms, the others use their own arms)



United Provinces Zwolle Luigino 1662
:






France Principality of Orange Guillaume-Henri Luigino 1661



Papal States - Avignon Alexander VII Luigino (or Carlino) 1662 (even the pope got in on the luigini business since their carlino was struck to the same standard, although the design is a little different)

 

Finally, to get back in line, here is my 1660 coin

Riga under Karl XI of Sweden Taler 1660

 

Do not apologize....those are beautifull coins, thanks for posting them

 

1659 -- France, 1/12 ecu:


1659 --

 

Flanders Philip IV of Spain 3 Ducaton 1659

 

Also exported as a luigino

 

1658 -- Livonia, 1 solidus:

 

Moldavian Prince Eustratie Dabija forged these Livonian solidi of Karl X Gustav too. Here is one dated 1655, as usual in copper with a thin tin covering. Dabija ruled from 1661-1665 but liberally struck coins with earlier dates.

 

Actually, semibovinian's coin is a solidus of the city of Riga itself (CIVI RIG on revers with arms of cross pattee over crossed keys) rather than Livonia (which has SOLIDVS.LIVONIAE on the rev and the griffin arms of Livonia). Dabija also forged the Riga solidi of Karl X Gustav. This example, with, I am afraid, a miserable reverse struck partly off flan, , is dated 1657

 

Great coins! Nice to see Livonian coinage, Kunker had a beautifull AV 7 Dukaten Queen Christina of Sweden.....to die for!

 

Here is my 1657...a bit more ordinary.
AV 2 Dukaten 1657 Augsburg Mint
Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III and Wife/ Eleonore
Imperial City of Augsburg/ Reverse pine cone symbol for city.
Note: Ferdinand looks a lot like Leopold I who became Emperor in 1657.

 

I am proud of all you guys for having these really old coins! Good job! I will get back in the game soon...

 

Awesome coin - like the time frame & condition. Looks like something a newbie would post under the title "Mint Error"

 

France.
Liard 1657.
