I am sure some questions are too early to address definitely. My thought about the recurrence and the similarity with the flu situation we have,...
I am also quite worried about the stock market. And I'm wondering if we would have to contend with this virus being a seasonal recurrence like the...
All news I got seems to point that packages and mail are safe and that the virus does not survive for long neither on the package nor inside a...
Well, at least some good news, considering that numismatic fairs will likely be banned in parts of Europe this spring. Northern Italy is already...
Speaking of "plagues" I wonder if anyone buying coins from the countries affected by the coronavirus outbreak worries that they might catch the...
Seems plausible. The first coin is marked as a royal issue (perhaps on the account of the crowned bust) and could point to the royal or imperial...
An interesting interpretation, but I think it would work better if it was an Imperial issue rather than feudal?
This extreme variety of coinages, styles and mints can be intimidating, at least compared to the tournois and parisii (which are my main areas of...
The German coinage of the 12th century is extremely diverse and at times hectic, as baronial and ecclesiastical mints were often more prolific,...
Hi, the Decentius spec is quite visibly Lyon rather than Amiens. The styles are so distinct between the two mints, presumably because Amiens was...
The countermark was mentioned but not discussed. The listing can be seen here: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2655587
In 350, before the accession of Decentius, Magnentius kept the 348-350 standard -- at Trier the FEL TEMP REPARATIO types were briefly continued...
Moldova would mean that they likely got there through trade in the lower Danube - Crimea. My impression is that all through the 4th and 5th...
I would have figured that these entered via the lower Danube and the Delta and circulated mostly in eastern Ukraine, but if they are so copious in...
Very interesting but it needs more Q. [ATTACH]
The Acciaioli coinage, possibly minted at the Acrocorinth from cca. 1388 to the first part of the 15th century, first started in somewhat good...
In 1334/5, Azzone Visconti took hold of Como and probably started his coinage there almost immediately, making use of the local mint that had been...
I am not actively searching for these Gallic Empire coinages, but this specimen is very good, one of the more suggestive busts of Sol I have seen.
Great example, these are hard to come by in full scodellato flan. I think your specimen is similar to this: CNI V p. 48 #2; Murari 1981 p. 41 #18;...
Couldn't we try a better dating than a 10 year period for such distinctive types? For instance, I'd think that @Valentinian's specimen in OP...
Separate names with a comma.
