When I stumbled across this coin on eBay, I thought it was simply a 17th-Century hammered coin mistakenly described as medieval. I like fuzzy critters, so I clicked on the listing for the fun of it. But when I saw the reverse, it became obvious that this coin was indeed medieval, possibly 1200’s. The seller did not give me much to go on as far as an ID was concerned, so I did the best searching I could do in ACSearch. It turns out to be a Banovac struck under Stjepan VI of Hungary, dating it to 1270-1272. Needless to say, the coin became mine at an attractive price. Feel free to post your examples of (seemingly or actual) anachronistic die pairing or whatever you feel is relevant.
Thats a fantastic example. I have a one fairly worn and scratched I got for free as a throw in but I have no pic of it. ID: Croatia Silver Béla IV of Hungary Obverse: Marten running left between two six-pointed stars. Legend: + MONETA * DVCIS P SCLAVONIA Reverse: Patriarchal cross between two crowned heads, star left, pellet filled crescent right.
