Another Henry V Penny

I was searching MA-Shops and stumbled across this worn but nicely toned penny of Henry V. Yes, I know I already have one but the price was right. This coin was under 30.00 before shipping so I had to have it. (Yes, these mediaeval coins are addictive)

The listing did not provide an attribution so I will have to work on that when I receive it.

Please post your mediaeval coins. I would love to see them.

Not bad price for it, still want one myself.

 

Awesome toning on that piece. The price - the icing on the cake. Good Score @Orfew !

 

Thanks @Ancientnoob , I really like it despite the worn portrait.

 

Thanks Mat.They do appear at auction on CNG and other sites, but there is usually quite a lot of competition for them.

 

Cool coin @Orfew !!

I'm afraid all of my former medievals are now in someone else's collection....among all my moderns and half of my former ancients

 

Unfortunetly I dont have a Henry V to share but I have a rare variation of Edward Longshanks of Braveheart fame.

 

Very nice @Ancientnoob. The portrait is very cool.

 

Awesome coin, Orfew!

If you insist...










I left out the cut coins, and I still haven't attributed and photographed the Genoese/Caffa coins...

 

Oh, and these two guys:

 

Great coins @FitzNigel. Am I correct in identifying the second one as King John?

 

Yessir!

Those are wonderful Mat. I must say I am partial to the Alfonso. I am not used to seeing profiles on mediaeval coins.

 

@Bing I like that angel on the French coin, very neat.
