I too "accidentally" got a medieval coin in a lot a while back, somewhat similar to the OP, I think. But I am woefully ignorant about these...
I looked at quite a few of these online and yours is about the nicest in terms of style that I've seen. Nice patina too. Many of these are...
Thank you all for sharing. These are some really nice examples of coinage from this small place.
Interesting thread and lovely coins. I recently got a denarius of Septimius Severus with Apollo reverse. It is, I think, my favorite SS in my...
Nice Constantines, everybody. Here's a dead Constantine, his soul being greeted by the Hands of God. [ATTACH] Constantine I - Æ Follis...
Cybele! Thank you - my Tyche approach was way off, obviously. And so I continue to learn... Thank you Ken and Roman Collector. I appreciate...

Over the past few months I have been trying to range further afield in my collecting, buying small, cheap Roman Provincials and Greek bronzes, not...
Nice coins gsimonel. To take the thread into another generation, here is Gallenius's son Valerian II. These are my first of this ruler, got 'em...
Wonderful portrait on this one. She looks indomitable!

I was wondering if any Byzantine experts out there could help me with this. I recently got this Byzantine 12 nummi, the seller describing it as...
It seems that Hilaritas is usually found on the reverse of issues for the royal ladies. But not always - in addition to the Tetricus in the OP,...
Nice one, Alegandron. Any Perdikkos is a good Perdikkos in my opinion. They all seem to be a bit scarce, from what I can tell surfing the web.
My very first coin outside USA stuff was a Canadian 1857 bank token (St. George and the Dragon). It was the oldest thing I owned (I was about 10...
That is truly a spectacular lion. That it is rendered in 16 mm makes it even more remarkable.
Rummaged through the local dealer's junk bins today and found a pretty interesting, if a bit cruddy, small AE from Macedon, Alexander the Great's...
Nice Maxentius follis, ancient coin hunter. I have one from the Rome mint, with some green stuff on it (not bronze disease, it is hard, not...
