Seafarers all

 

I don't own a whole lot of ships coins, but I've got this one:

 

Here's three:

 

Thar She Blows!

 

Posted this a while back but here it is again!

 

Release The Kraken!

 

I used to have a lot of coins with ships.

Malta 1993


Netherlands East Indies


Portugal - no ships but it is Henry the Navigator

 

Constantine I
A.D. 327-8
Ӕ nummus 20mm 3.0g
CONSTANTINVS MAX AVG; rosette diademed head right
LIBERTAS PVBLICA; Victory standing left on galley, wreath in both hands; in left field B.
in ex. CONS
RIC VII Constantinople 25

 

Henry VII angel with mm. Anchor. Struck from very rusty dies on a small flan of good weight.


Allectus quinarius. Camulodunum(?) mint


Edward IV first reign ryal with mm. Long Cross Fitchee

 

Charles I angel pierced for use as a touchpiece at the Touching Ceremony. The reverse mm. is bell over portcullis over harp reflecting the limited output of these coins. Assuming their condition permitted, dies were overstamped with the latest mark following a pyx trial. Up to 5 marks are known on a few dies. Angels to the value of £12500 (25,000 coins) were cumulatively struck during the entire reign across all marks, so consequently, all are rare.
