Oh, WOW - Great thread! And great coins! It was fun reading through the posts. I have several of them (I was surprised!), but I really do not collect here. I do not have any of my moderns photo’d.

I only have one from the Great Kahn:

Great Mongols, Genghis (Chingiz) Khan,
AH 603-624/ AD 1206-1227,

citing on the reverse, the 'Abbasid caliph al-Nasir. O: 'adl / khaqan / al-a'zam("the Just and Supreme Khaqan" or "Just [coin] of the Supreme Khaqan"). R: al-Nasir / li-Din Allah / amir al-mu- / -minin ("al-Nasir li-Din Allah, commander of the faithful").

I am afraid that if we allow in all the old Germanic states (about 380, although many did not strike coins), we will take over this thread !

 

Let's please, skip all the German stated and cities. There are hundreds of auxiliary (end WW I) coins from nearly every village immaginable.....

 

Wow,wow,wow!.What a wonderful enhancement of my historical awareness/appreciation of coins. Thank you everyone.

 

Yes, but Germany produced 20 percent of Worlds AR/ AV coinage. Here are two from Frankfurt/ Imperial City
