Crusader States (Cyprus): silver gros of Hugo IV, ca. 1324-1359 The toning was the major selling point on this one, but extra points were...
England: silver penny of Edward I "Longshanks", ca. 1300-1310, London mint My personal metal detecting find, dug in a farm field in the Tendring...
Good on you, ‘Swimmer.
Here’s another slippery matter of numismatic nomenclature. Generally speaking, most people consider coins struck during the first five centuries...
It’s a fair question. I personally draw the line at the fall of the Western Roman empire in 476 AD, as I think many folks do. But that may not...
