Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, certainly got around. Here he is, looking younger and possibly beardless, on a ca. 1521-1545 Brabant gold florin I...
That looks like a fun project. I look forward to seeing your future ones.
It looks similar to one I added to my MA-Shops watchlist just this morning. Yours looks to have been struck in slightly paler electrum. A Celtic...
I mailed it off this morning, so it should be back in their family's hands soon.
Yours is more attractive.

The D took a hit, that's all. It's very minor PMD (post-mint damage).
That "searching under church floors" bit is pretty interesting, too. I'll bet they found all sorts of cool stuff!
Wow, that is one seriously messed-up cent. It saw a hard life! Looks like a 1945 to me, but 1942 is also possible. There is a D or S mintmark,...
