Well, if you say so. Nevertheless, these were never issued in gold! The shape of the top one is not even attested to from an original specimen,...
I am afraid these are all modern reproductions :(. Wrong style, fabric and metal.
Based on the shape of the crown and the abbreviation of the king’s name, it is definitely Edward I. The Royal York mint did not mint all...
Lovely coin, absolutely love that green hue! Since you asked: [ATTACH] Ptolemaic Egypt – Ptolemy III Euergetes (246–222 BC), series 4. AE...
